The Conservatives have described Labour's plans to renationalise the railways if they win the next general election as pointless and unfunded. Sir Keir Starmer's party say they'll bring routes back into public ownership within five years. Shadow Transport Secretary Louise Hague claims it'll be the biggest change to the network in a generation. It's an incredibly wasteful system at the moment, with dividends and performance fees being leaked out to the private sector, and enormous duplication and waste across the system because it is so fragmented and complex. Officers in Perthshire who failed to spot a man had been shot could face a misconduct inquiry. Detectives initially thought 65-year-old Brian Lowe died of a medical issue in Aberfeldy, until a post-mortem death later revealed the wounds. Here's former Police Scotland Superintendent Martin Gallagher. Police Scotland made a mistake at the start. It's very unfortunate that that happened. But Police Scotland will learn from that, and hopefully a training programme will be looked at in terms of how we deal with crime scenes initially in terms of homicide. Police Scotland is refusing to comment on claims the investigation has been botched. It looks like Ofsted's one-word judgements on schools, such as outstanding or inadequate, are staying for now. The government insists that there are significant benefits for parents, but there have been concerns since a headteacher took her own life after her primary school was downgraded. Breast cancer survivors are apparently at a higher risk of developing a second cancer if they live in poverty. Researchers from the University of Cambridge found women from poorer backgrounds had a 35% bigger risk. And in showbiz, Taylor Swift's Tortured Poets department has become Spotify's most streamed album in a single week. It's been played more than 1 billion times, and it has already racked up 300 million streams in a single day. There's more news online at gado.co.uk
