Rishi Sunak's Daughters Prefer National Service Over Maths Lessons

Rishi Sunak's Surprising Revelation

Rishi Sunak recently shared that his daughters are more enthusiastic about compulsory national service than continuing with maths lessons until the age of 18. During a campaign visit in Stoke-on-Trent, the Prime Minister discussed how his children view the idea of forced volunteering.

Excitement Over National Service

During a visit to a china factory in Stoke-on-Trent, surrounded by British crockery, Sunak expressed that the topic of national service was a much easier conversation with his daughters compared to discussing maths. He mentioned that his daughters are genuinely excited about the prospect of national service and believes it will be a beneficial experience for them.

Support for Young People

Despite recent policy announcements that have sparked debates, including a national service scheme, Sunak defended his stance, emphasizing that he has not given up on young people. He believes that providing the opportunity for national service to all young individuals, regardless of their background, will have a positive impact on their lives.
