Apparently the funding for the study for this is going to come from closing the SPF (replacement for regional eu funding) from the levelling up funding budget

If it affects the poor more then Reform voters children and grandchildren will be affected disproportionately. See social grade here. yougov.co.uk There may be a more up to date version of this somewhere. |

I'd be interested to know if National Service in the forces becomes a de facto draft in the event of any conflict. I mean, of course the military are going to want this: they've been struggling to recruit for years.

It seems that's part of the point and I guess the thinking is that anyone that chooses the military for their national service would be amenable to that if the worst happened and have required skills. |

The Tories are on a roll. I think they have a contest with each other to see what they can f*ck every day. First, it was Sunak getting soaked, then visiting the Titanic at Belfast, then saying having a day off but not, then mandatory (!) service. Satire is utterly dead. |

Chrisull can you put me down for 205 Tory seats after election. Somehow think they will get more than polling suggests. Hope I'm wrong.

I look forward to Tory MPs getting hauled over the coals for the next 6 weeks defending a policy they weren't even consulted on. More holes (and doubtless loopholes) than the proverbial Swiss cheese. |
