Prime Minister Rishi Sunak proposes modern national service for 18-year-olds, while Jeremy Clarkson suggests an alternative of working on farms.

Celebrity Jeremy Clarkson has criticised the idea of a modern national service, as proposed by Prime Minister Rishi Sunak. The plan would see 18-year-olds either enrol in a 12-month military placement or spend one weekend a month volunteering in their community. Clarkson, who runs his own farm, suggested an alternative to the scheme, stating: "Here’s an idea. Instead of national service, which is obviously idiotic, how about kids working on farms."
