No. of Paragraph 12

"Labour pledges to nationalise rail network within five years" is the main headline in the Guardian, which joins the Daily Mirror, the Metro and the i, in leading with the party's plans for the rail network.

Labour insiders tell the Guardian the announcement heralds the beginning of more radical proposals in the run up to the general election. The Mirror says the intervention "can't come soon enough", as it claims money which should have gone on upgrading services has thus far been given to owners and shareholders. But the i says the rail industry has hit out at the plans - claiming they will cost taxpayers more in the long run.

The main story for the Daily Telegraph is an accusation from ministers and defence sources that Labour is "failing to keep Britain safe in a dangerous world" by refusing to match the government's pledge to spend 2.5% of GDP on defence by 2030. Labour says it is committed to the target when economic conditions allow.

But the Sun says finances must allow for it and argues Labour wants to save every penny for what it describes as its ideological crusades such as rail nationalisation. The Guardian's editorial says Rishi Sunak's promise to spend an extra £75bn on the department is misleading, because it assumes that defence spending would otherwise be frozen in cash terms - a scenario it says no one is proposing.
