"Either way you as a Labour politician cannot seriously be defending this bonkers 'free school' policy"

Correct.
When it was introduced I complained that this was a mad policy we were introducing just as the Swedes were abandoning it. Far and away the best education system in Europe is (or was then) the Finnish one which is based on radical ideas like paying teachers attractive salaries to attract and retain the best quality staff.
Local authorities have little choice in the matter, however. We are obliged by law (and morally IMO) to provide school places and free schools are funded by the DfE whilst building any other school has to be financed entirely by the LA. Oh, and by the way, the DfE can decide to plonk a free school down wherever they choose even if it's only effect is to draw pupils from existing schools which may then become unviable. That's the advanced form of the madness.
All free schools and most former LA schools become academies when built anyway - and by the way, I also oppose academies.
