Election 2024: Lib Dems target London commuter belt

The Standard

Sir Ed Davey has appealed to voters in London and the commuter belt to “tear down the Blue Wall” on July 4.

Evening Standard political editor Nicholas Cecil secured an exclusive interview with the Liberal Democrat leader , which took place on the Waterloo to Wimbledon route that’s seen as a key hunting ground for Lib Dems to snatch Conservative votes in south-west London.

Now, Sir Ed’s hoping a boost in visibility with stunts on the campaign trail will translate into crosses on ballot papers.

Plus, in part two - it’s the countdown to Glastonbury Festival.

This year’s line-up includes Dua Lipa, Coldplay, SZA, Little Simz, Shania Twain, Cyndi Lauper, Avril Lavigne, Janelle Monae and Paul Heaton.

We asked the BPI’s Paul Williams about the evolution of Glastonbury’s live music in the streaming world - and the resurgence of retro cassettes.
