“An off the shelf policy about National Service, completely out of the blue with no context, strikes me I’m afraid as a gimmick.”

The Tories’ plan to bring back mandatory National Service will turn young voters away from the Conservatives, says Times Radio presenter Lord Vaizey.

    I'm 64 my kids and grandkids arent going to fight for a bunch of neo-fascist Eton educated Tory w⚓'s!
  • Young people face unaffordable housing, student debts, privatised monopolies and high taxes... and now they want to conscript them too? Wow.
  • @PatOfTheRick
    The people who like this think it’s a great idea for other people’s children.
  • Sunak will slink off to California when he loses. His kids will never be conscripted.
  • @dtaylor9673
    Whoever convinced Sunak National Service was a vote winner must want Labour to win!
  • @hugodrax71
    These Tories who went to Eton, Oxford, Stanford etc...among the dumbest people I've ever seen.
  • @troyhenry7345
    Due to austerity policies, my children sometimes had to eat one cooked meal daily. These idiots suggest mandatory national services for our children to become canon fodder in trenches in the Baltics. Maybe the government should stop funding wars and spend taxpayers' money on education, NHS, and other public services in desperate states.
  • @Gramsci
    On school fees… “middle class voters!?” Does he understand the actual cost of current private school fees? It’s not middle class people, it’s the wealthy.
  • @fetbetty
    I bet his kids wont have to do it
  • @troop73oo
    My wife told me this this morning, I thought she was either joking or clicked on some daily mail Clickbait story. Just when you think Sunak couldn’t get any dafter.
  • @FG77-
    You can tell these presenters send their kids to private school and aren’t happy about the Labour proposals on taxing private education.
  • @blakkat28
    Give young people education and jobs not "national service"
  • @gjaxx
    If young people want a military career, they are perfectly entitled to, and capable of, joining voluntarily. Forcing them is just BONKERS. They took away their right to move freely and participate in educational programmes in Europe without giving them a say, and now this. Utterly clueless
  • I doubt the army or navy would want this. A group of young people who don't want to be there.
  • people want their weekly shop not to double again, not have kids forced to join the army
  • @pastyman001
    The army didn't want National Service after the war. It was a pointless burden on them. Employers would not want to lose staff and the people themselves would be joining the army now if they wanted to do it. Who does want this? Old right wing colonels and codgers maybe?
  • Excellent!!! That's the way to lose an election. You carry on, Rish. Byeeeee
