James Blunt says Rishi Sunak’s national service plan is “not a bad idea”
James Blunt has shared his thoughts on Prime Minister Rishi Sunak’s mandatory national service plan, saying it’s “not a bad idea”.The Conservative Party have said that 18-year-olds would be required to participate in a scheme involving military or civilian service, if they win the UK general election on July 4.“This modern form of national service will mean that young people get the skills and the opportunities that they need, which is going to serve them very well in life,” Sunak explained at a recent campaign event (via BBC News).“It is going to foster a culture of service which is going to be incredibly powerful for making our society more cohesive, and in a more uncertain and dangerous world it’s going to strengthen our country’s security and resilience.”In a video on TikTok, the PM said: “As is the case in other countries, we will provide a stipend to help with living costs for those doing the military element alongside their training.“Meanwhile, on the civic side, we will make sure organisations have funding for training and administration.”Singer-songwriter Blunt – who served in the British Army before he got signed as a musician, and was an officer during the Kosovo War – recently spoke about the controversial move at the 2024 Hay Festival.This will change lives #nationalservice #generalelection #uk #rishisunak ♬ original sound – Conservatives “We all know it’s not going to happen, but I think the concept – to understand a bit about serving your community – is not a bad idea,” the ‘You’re Beautiful’ singer reasoned (via the Standard).“The greatest thing about the Army is that we worked together as a team, people from all corners of the UK, and that was a huge benefit.”Blunt continued: “I’m a posh twat and these

ABBA tease the one way they could appear at Glastonbury
ABBA have teased the one way they might be able to appear at Glastonbury, as well as discussing their career highlights, heroes and songs they wish they’d written.To celebrate the second anniversary of their ABBA Voyage show last night (May 27), Björn Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson took part in a special Q&A with writer Peter Paphides in front of an arena full of ticket-holders and celebrity fans.At one point, Paphides shared a story told to him by Glasto organiser Emily Eavis.“[She] told me that in the lead-up to last year’s festival, when things were going wrong and she wasn’t sure if it was going to be OK, she would play, [2021 single] ‘I Still Have Faith In You’, and it made it feel like it might just turn out OK.”While the technology of the ‘ABBA-tars’ and the custom-made ABBA Arena is too complicated to take the show to a festival, Ulvaeus and Andersson were open to the idea of the Voyage live band making at appearance at Worthy Farm.“Oh yes! It’s a brilliant idea,” said Ulvaeus.” They’re a great band, why shouldn’t they play?”When Texas‘ Sharleen Spiteri then took the mic to ask the songwriting duo if they’d ever considered getting up on stage to play with the band during a Voyage show, Andersson replied: “Definitely. Maybe if they play Glastonbury and need an extra piano player…”Speaking to NME last year about taking the full ABBA Voyage experience to Glasto, Ulvaeus said: “I don’t think that’s possible, yet.
