Labour: Mandatory national service a 'ridiculous gimmick'
Labour's Bridget Phillipson brands Rishi Sunak's idea to bring back mandatory national service a "ridiculous gimmick" adding that the Tories "can't set out how they would pay for it".
The shadow education secretary also says that if Labour win the general election, the party would "carry out a strategic defense and security review, so that we can make sure that we're well prepared for all of the challenges we face as a country into the future".
