King’s Speech: Starmer Pushes the Bill Button


Listen Later

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.
