How much do those proposing this hate the young?  You've taken their ability to work around Europe. Oh they have it so easy these days?  Do they?  Do they have free post 18 education?  Do they have jobs for life with gold plated pensions?  Do they have affordable housing? No.  And now you think a stint in the forces will do them good. 

What did we do and how were you at 18?  If you're not 85 you didn't do national service.

Cameron and Johnson were burning £50's in front of the homeless and smashing up restaurants.  It a bunch of Priviledged arseholes deciding the kids aren't all right.

Some of them are little shits.  Some of them.  A small minority.  So lets send them all to be drilled by forces who don't have the bandwidth to do it.

Im currently sitting opposite my 17 year old who is spending 7 hours a day revising.  Shes got to give up her job for a weekend a month and rely on me for money more?  OR she can make money whilst in the services?

Its just a shit idea that stinks of desperation.

I think you are all taking this far too seriously, in terms of being "real" for the here and now.  This looks like a free hit trial and error policy test - the Tories know the result of the election, they can try out a few random policy ideas and see how they float with the entire electorate as a focus group rather than a handful of people at a Think Tank.

Surely it's simply to try and get the reform dickheads back given they are diluting the Tory vote.

Probably.  I suspect the next big policy he drops will be something like bringing back hanging.

I guess if that doesn't work they'll just reintroduce the Great Plague. That'll solve all their so called ''major problems'' {whilst simultaneously creating many unprepared other ones} and by major problems, I mean all those things they've created as divisive public issues but really are just designed to keep them in power a little longer.

Maybe they'll bring back Cummings in another scandal? Perhaps it comes out that he's been nobbing Suella Braverman, Preeti Patel and Sunak missus. That'll get the public behind Sunak {no pun} and get him the popular vote back...  Soapy Tit Wank

Labour moving closer to the right by banning Diane Abbott from standing. It's "Blairism" all over again.

She had been and remains a liability to labour, even true under Corbyn. By most accounts she's pretty clever, but that doesn't translate in front of camera.

In any case starmer says 'no decision made'.

The whip being removed did look pretty flimsy in reasoning

I actually think she is not very well. You can see that she seems to have deterorated over the last 10 years and her speech has got worse

I think no matter what job it is that you should probably treat and look after a 70 year old a bit better tan they currently have

To me, Diane Abbott has always come across as a political intellect (she can debate with someone around the minutiae of policy), but, she has also come across as zealot, unwilling to move and public about where she stands.  The sort of person that is doomed to be in opposition, never in power, like Corbyn and Farage (although the latter seems to be a mix of politics and pure narcist tendencies).  I know some on here will passionately agree with her political views, but they do not get a party elected.  I can well understand her reaching a point of pissing off leadership in a party that has tried to court the center left since the early 90's.  Like it or not, that is where Labour is, and where it stands most chance of winning elections.
