I will take just one to start to make it easier for my dyslexia, I hope by saying that it won't derail the thread, although there were many others you could have pointed to.State Opening of Parliament Wednesday 17th July 9.30am
KINGāS SPEECH, House of Lords - Wednesday 17th July 11.30 am
The Kingās Speech, delivered by HRH King Charles III on Wednesday setting out the Governmentās Legislative agenda for the year, will be the first test of the new Government with around 35 Government Bills expected to be included. Measures to encourage economic growth are expected to be at the heart of Labourās reforms in a wide number of areas including:
After passing through the House of Lords (see schedule in 2nd link below), the Kingās Speech will be then be debated in the HoC before being voted on (with Labourās majority in the House, that will be a formality)
- A ānew deal for working peopleā in an employment rights bill.
- The Government is expected to introduce a comprehensive climate change package with large investment in solar and wind energy as well as not approving further licences for coal and North Sea gas. The Government is also expecting to announce the establishment of Great British Energy, a publicly owned company that will spearhead the energy sector into lower fuel prices, clean energy and lower bill prices for domestic consumers.
- Housing programme (already announce)
- NHS - measures to deal with Dentistry crisis, Mental Health provision and waiting lists
- Consultation into social service provision with aim of creating new National Care Service to reform social care
- Reform of the House of Lords (The House of Lords will need to approve this!)
The whole State Opening of Parliament will be broadcast live on Parliament TV and YouTube.

Thanks, I am reluctant to click on that link as it has a rather dodgy look about it.Not at all.
This is what is thought will be included in the Kingās Speech on Wednesday based on various newsleaks but no one will know any details until the King presents it to the House of Lords.
The Labour Party manifesto is in this link but donāt expect everything to be included or even referenced on Wednesday , the manifesto is a broad policy approach and longterm goals for the next 5-10 years - The Kingās Speech is just legislative measures that will start implementing some of the manifesto pledges for this parliamentary year.

Labour Party Manifesto 2024: Our plan to change Britain ā The Labour Party
Labour's manifesto for the 2024 General Election is here, and sets out our fully-funded plan to change Britain.labour.org.uk
Edit - generally when politicians use the phrase āworking peopleā, they mean everyone over school leaving age and under retirement age who is earning a working wage.
what is the solution?
We had plenty of this co-operation etc. with the EU ... before we decided to leave.Certainly not safe routes.
We need investment in our immigration service and some co-operation with the EU to have a consistent approach to decision making and the sharing of information and resources of repatriation.
rejoining the eu seems most sensibleCertainly not safe routes.

He explained this before the election when he said he wouldn't raise taxes for working people.I will take just one to start to make it easier for my dyslexia, I hope by saying that it won't derail the thread, although there were many others you could have pointed to.
I look forward to seeing where he draws the line with working people, I thought he was all about detail? What actually does he define as working people? He even classed himself as a working person didn't he?
Do you have the detail Zerberdi?
Nationalisation of Great British Railways in first Kings Speech
I don't understand it though. Has it not been against the law for some time ?Good news. Spiking a drink is to be a specific crime. My daughter in law was a victim and lost a night somewhere. Wicked crime, usually against women out on their own, that hasn't been taken seriously enough till now.
not a lot, Network Rail has been publicly owned for about 20 years.Confirmed in the bills to be announced on Wednesday. Steadily, without having to buy out operators. But what happens to Network Rail and its vast estate? Interesting times ahead @jackalbion ?
Very interesting, but I donāt think itll be much change really, take a look at LNER for what the new nationalised network is likely to be like.Confirmed in the bills to be announced on Wednesday.

I have also had my drink spiked, by mistake I think, a very unpleasant experience, not nice for anyone.Good news. Spiking a drink is to be a specific crime. My daughter in law was a victim and lost a night somewhere. Wicked crime, usually against women out on their own, that hasn't been taken seriously enough till now.
That's my view. I think a lot of folk are under the impression that nationalisation means cheaper tickets. But the profit margins of the operators are small in relative terms.Very interesting, but I donāt think itll be much change really, take a look at LNER for what the new nationalised network is likely to be like.
- Reducing voting age to 16 years (which will be controversial)
You are right that this thread was intended to be about personal experiences.Do we need to combine the Labour 100 days thread with this one since itās now become a more serious discussion? I thought this thread was about peopleās personal experiences otherwise I wouldnāt have started the other thread.
Probably not much point have two threads going now.
(I posted all the stuff about the upcoming Kingās Speech earlier but donāt mind deleting it and posting it on here instead)
