Summary
Labour have promised to renationalise nearly all passenger railways within their first term if they win the next election. But will it leave the railways better off? <br /><br />On the Sky News Daily, Niall Paterson speaks to Sky's political correspondent Sam Coates to discuss the details of Labour's plan and assess if a Great British Railway would be more efficient and cost-effective than the current privatised system. <br /><br />Niall also speaks to the editor of Rail magazine, Nigel Harris, to discuss the current state of our railways and what he believes needs to change. <br /><br />Elsewhere in politics, the Scottish government has ended its power-sharing agreement with the Greens. Sky's Scotland correspondent Connor Gillies discusses the implications of this for both parties – including a motion of no confidence in First Minister Humza Yousaf. <br /><br />Producers: Iona Brunker, Soila Apparicio, Emma Rae Woodhouse <br />Editor: Paul Stanworth
