SNP candidate Richard Thomson made the plea after the Prime Minister announced plans for a new national service scheme for 18 year olds.
The SNP is calling for a ‘Scottish National Service’ to vote against Rishi Sunak and the Conservatives.
It comes after the Prime Minister announced that if he wins the July 4 General Election, he will bring in a new policy which would see 18-year-olds either having to join the military for 12 months or voluntary work for one weekend a month for a year. Speaking about his first major policy pledge of the campaign, Mr Sunak said the initiative would help unite society in an “increasingly uncertain world” and give young people a “shared sense of purpose”.
He said: “Not content with destroying the hopes and aspirations of a generation of young people, the Tories now want to take them back to the 1950s with their National Service plans.writes how only the SNP have a track record of championing these communities & will continue to fight for them in Westminster.“Scotland wants no part in a Sunak service, which the Tories have even admitted will slash tens of millions of pounds of ‘shared prosperity’ funding to Scotland.
