This National Service plan is sheer lunacy from a government that has completely lost the plot. I can only think it's aimed at the gammons, but most of them have buggered off to Reform UK long ago. It will go down like a lead balloon among younger voters, where the Tories have very little support anyway. It will be a big boost to Labour without them having to lift a finger!
