Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's proposal to revive national service for young Britons faces scrutiny over the £2.5 billion funding and enforcement methods. Despite the plan capturing attention, questions remain on how it will be enforced, with the possibility of excluding criminal charges for noncompliance. The proposal, aimed at 18-year-olds, offers placements in the armed forces, cyberdefense, or community service, with funding sources including tax avoidance crackdown and redirecting EU funds. The plan is seen as an effort to regain support from the Reform UK party and boost Conservative standings in the upcoming election against Labour, amidst mixed responses and uncertainties over its implementation.
