Starmer and Sunak on campaign trail as Labour says Tory national service pledge ‘unravelling by the minute’ – UK politics live
Labour issues briefing note highlight 22 ‘unanswered questions’ including where recruits would live as ex-military chief describes it as ‘bonkers’
The Conservatives have said they want to make participation in their proposed national service compuslory for 18-year-olds, but they have not said how they would do this. Yesterday James Cleverly, the home secretary, ruled out imposing criminal sanctions on people who did not join in.

For this humanitarian ceasefire is what we as Europeans, the German federal government [are calling for].
We will do everything we can to achieve this, however difficult the situation is at the moment. That also means thinking again about how humanitarian aid and the worsening situation in Gaza can come in. We now have the situation where Rafah is closed again.
