UK government’s push for national service branded as ‘laughable’

Writer and broadcaster Esther Krakue says Rishi Sunak is “clutching at straws” with his national service proposal.

The UK government has unveiled plans to introduce a year's compulsory national service for 18-year-olds if it remains in power.

“It’s laughable that he thinks that any young person will sign up for national service,” Ms Krakue said.
