BARBARA Windsor’s husband last night blasted Boris Johnson for betraying the late star after Alzheimer’s funding plunged.
Grieving Scott Mitchell said the PM had failed to deliver on a Tory election vow to double cash to fight dementia.
Mr Johnson had also told the actress – who died last month aged 83 – that he would “do my best for you” when she delivered an open letter from the Alzheimer’s Society to No10 in 2019.
It called on the Government to provide better dementia care.
But Scott, 58, hit out after the Sunday Mirror uncovered figures showing funding for the illness had almost halved in the last three years.
“It’s disappointing to see the Government is not doing more for people affected, despite the promises he made to me and Barbara in 2019,” he said.
Back then, the Conservatives were chasing votes by pledging to put an extra £83million a year into dementia research over the next decade, doubling the total spend to £166million.
CRUEL
The move – dubbed the “Dementia Moonshot” – was described by the party as the “ largest boost to dementia research ever” in the UK.
Health Secretary Matt Hancock said the money would be used to find a cure for the disease, but it has not happened.
