Prime Minister Sir Kier Starmer Keir said the government would “fix the foundations” of Britain following the “rot” of the Tories.
“No more wedge issues, no more gimmicks, no more party political strategy masquerading as policy,” hr told the House of Commons as the Government set out forty bills in the King’s speech
Six bills will be presented almost immediately including what has been termed sthe Truss Protection Bill which will force future governments to consult the OBR before budgets and financial statements as well as the bill returning rail contracts to public hands
There will also be a bill to build a Holocaust memorial outside parliament.
Starmer told MP’s that
“This is an agenda focused entirely on delivering for the people of this country.. Legislation for the national interest.. To make people better off.. Solve problems not exploit them”
He added that “With each day that passes, my government is finding new and unexpected marks of their corruption.. Scars of the last 14 years where politics was put above the national interest.. Decline deep in the marrow of our institutions”
“The work of change has begun”
