The Kings Speech could be interesting today
Sir Keir Starmer is set to announce the government’s legislative agenda for the years ahead in the King’s Speech this morning.
As part of the State Opening of Parliament, King Charles is expected to outline around 35 draft laws including a national housebuilding programme to build 1.5 million homes, a bill to enact Labour’s pledge to nationalise the railways and a workers’ rights bill.
The prime minister said the measures would “take the brakes off Britain” and “create wealth for people up and down the country” by spurring economic growth.
As part of the new set of policies, local governments could receive more powers and a law to ensure all government budgets get advance independent scrutiny.
Also expected are new measures to strengthen border security, following on from Sir Keir’s decision to scrap the Conservatives’ plan to send people arriving in the UK across the English Channel on a one-way trip to Rwanda.

No 1 should be stop the boats. It did the Tories in, it will eject Labour. Its just how long it takes for the public to realise that Labour are as flaccid as the Tories.
LABOUR OUT They bore me.

While the the Asylum seekers are a problem with some people its not the main concern It is a years long problem that is exacerbating all the other problems, solving it would go some way to allowing funds to be available for other projects and ease pressures on Councils and infrastructure. It is central to many things as it illustrates the ability of government to control and the determination of government to act in the best interests of the British people. It is recognised by government as a significant problem as they had to reiterate their policy on it numerous times during the campaign. It may not be the 'main concern' but it is a marker of success and failure and will be judged by the electorate as such. To believe otherwise is basically idiotic. |

I'm not sure they can take the brakes off Britain. The brakes were put on Britain by the Brexit agreement which agreed a level playing field, so if we reduce corporation tax by much they will invoke some penalty.
As for the fake asylum seekers, they need stopping immediately, but we all know they won't be. They are a 5th column

There many problems being looked at cost of living shortage of housing State ownership of railways . Fuel poverty .poverty in general but you think a govenment should just be seen how they handel Asylum seekers. |

Building homes generates work and so workers can spend their earnings in the retail economy yet the outlay for this would come from borrowing so more interest to be paid on the national debt. Also housebuilders tend to like cheap foreign labour in recent times............... Talking of national debt rises you would expect this too if we renationalise the railways. It will be interesting to see how this moves forward and how the markets react. |

The government wants it to be paid for by private investment, not borrowing. |
