Prime Minister Rishi Sunak plans to advocate for employers to give preference to job applicants with military service amid ongoing controversy over National Service revival proposals. Sunak's push comes despite criticism of the £2.5bn annual cost estimate. He aims to encourage employers to consider armed forces veterans during recruitment, doubling down on the initiative ahead of the July 4 election. Labour, on the other hand, emphasizes security as the cornerstone of their manifesto, focusing on economic, border, and national security. Campaigning intensifies as parties seek to sway voters amidst uncertainty.
