Corbyn says ‘free broadband’, we say ‘bad idea’. PLUS Royal Parks traffic ban and England for Euro 2020

Labour have pledged to make broadband free for all by renationalising BT Openreach if they win the General Election. The idea has been labelled a “fantasy plan” by The Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, Nicky Morgan.

We spoke to the Evening Standard’s Consumer Business Editor Jonathan Prynn who explains why this plan would harm us all.


London is home to eight wonderful Royal parks which create 5,000 acres of green space in one of the busiest cities in the world. Now Royal Parks bosses are set to ban “rat running” traffic in some areas in a bid to improve air quality. The Leader podcast left the newsroom to take a walk with our City Hall editor Ross Lydell to discuss why the Evening Standard believes this is a great idea.


England's emphatic 7-0 victory over Montenegro last night brought qualification for next summer’s Euro 2020 tournament. The Leader podcast spoke to Evening Standard Deputy Digital Sports editor Tom Dutton on why we have good reason to look forward to the competition.
