‘Conscription Again in Britain’: Rishi Sunak Makes Election Promise After Russian Strike Warning

UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak plans to reintroduce mandatory national service if re-elected, requiring all 18-year-olds to join the military or volunteer monthly with community organizations.

This £2.5 billion initiative aims to foster national pride and bridge societal divides.

Critics argue it's a costly response to Conservative cuts in troop numbers.

The proposal follows escalating UK-Russia tensions.
