King’s Speech: Starmer Pushes the Bill Button

from Newscast Hosted by BBC News

Today, we look at what was in Labour’s first King’s Speech. Chris joins Adam after King Charles III set out the government's proposed laws at the State Opening of Parliament. They included plans for growth, the nationalisation of railways, and planning reform. We also look at what wasn’t included. Adam also speaks to Labour’s Lucy Powell, now Leader of the House of Commons, whose job it is to make sure the plans become law.
