Rishi Sunak makes election pledge to make teens spend a year in the military or do unpaid weekend community work. However criticism of the scheme has increased. Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer branded it a 'teenage Dad's Army' in a speech yesterday.
A pottery worker who sparked laughter when she told Prime Minister Rishi Sunak she supported the return of National Service because her sons are 'more brawn than brains' has revealed the back story of her efforts to raise two boys.
Yesterday, Mrs Condliffe said she believed neither of her sons would have ended up in trouble with the law if they had completed National Service after leaving school. 'Both he and Cain think National Service is a good thing because of the discipline, determination and self-confidence it offers. 'I think if we could encourage isolated young people to step away from negative influences like social media and gang culture and give them the kind of self-worth the military offers, it would be a major way of tackling crime and mental illness among that generation.
Dawn, who also has a daughter, Chloe Davenport, 27, said both Chris and Cain regretted their criminal convictions and had both told her how proud they were of the conversation she'd had with the Prime Minister.
