Starmer asks TNT Sports to make Champions League final free to view

Match between PM’s favourite Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain marks first time British fans will be unable to watch final free of charge

Keir Starmer has written to broadcaster TNT Sports asking it to make next weekend’s Champions League final free to view.

The move is the latest measure that appears designed to appeal directly to voters, after the government announced earlier this week that it would cut VAT on entry to some attractions – such as theme parks, zoos and museums – during the school summer holidays.
