Labour pledge to renationalise railways within five years
Labour has pledged to renationalise the railways if it wins the next general election, with the shadow transport secretary saying that "today's broken model simply doesn't work".
The party says it will also introduce a new watchdog focusing on passengers, and streamline tickets and timetables.
The government insists the plan will "do nothing" to improve service reliability or affordability.
Meanwhile, passengers at Manchester Piccadilly station expressed frustration with rail services, but little enthusiasm for Labour’s plans.

Chris Philp says it is "absolutely disgraceful" that Sir Keir Starmer has labelled those "who are raising legitimate concerns" about grooming gangs as "far right". The shadow home secretary adds Elon Musk's social media attack on Labour's safeguarding minister Jess Phillips was "wrong", but says debate on the subject should not be "shut down".

In a shocking revelation, it is reported that over 250,000 white girls in the UK have been systematically exploited by grooming gangs, with a significant number of the perpetrators of Pakistani heritage. The extensive abuse has raised alarms over years of inaction by authorities. Elon Musk has criticized the UK government, particularly Labour leader Keir Starmer, for their handling of the issue during his tenure as Head of the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS). Musk condemned the government's failure to address the grooming gangs scandal and demanded accountability, calling for those responsible to face justice. He also called out safeguarding minister Jess Phillips for allegedly covering up grooming cases, pushing for her to be jailed. The ongoing scandal has brought attention to the systematic failure of authorities to act, with critics accusing political correctness of preventing proper action and prosecution. This issue has sparked public outcry, with many calling for an urgent inquiry and a reassessment of policies surrounding the protection of children and the handling of grooming gang crimes.
