From renationalising the railways to GB Energy, it might be one long speech.
King Charles pictured at the state opening of parliament on November 7 2023 After Labour won the General Election on July 4, a new era in parliament begins on Wednesday as the King’s Speech is unveiled. While the King’s Speech will be read by the monarch King Charles, it is actually written by the government. It is the new government’s chance to outline its proposed policies and legislation for the new parliamentary season. And for Keir Starmer, there’s a fair amount to go through.
Great British Railways will oversee nearly all passenger rail services within five years, something Labour say will bring fares down. Housing is also top of the agenda. Labour has pledged to ‘immediately’ ban no-fault evictions, which allow landlords to give tenants the boot for no reason. The government also hope to get Awaab’s Law in the books.
