"Labour's King's Speech: 35 Bills, AI, and Major Reforms"

The new Labour government's first King's Speech, to be delivered by King Charles, is expected to outline around 35 draft laws. Key areas include tackling illegal migration, enhancing workers' rights, establishing a state-owned energy company, banning no-fault evictions, renationalizing railways, and introducing new crime and punishment measures. Other anticipated legislation covers budget rules, mental health care, democracy and devolution, education, online safety, and a "Hillsborough Law" for public servant accountability. Existing bills from the previous government may also be revisited.
