The King's Speech: What Does Starmer Have Planned?

Yesterday King Charles went to the Lords to announce Keir Starmer's plans for the next year. In the speech the King announced 40 laws Labour plan to enact this Parliament. So let's unpack what Labour have planned when it comes to the economy, housing and transport.

Our mission is to explain news and politics in an impartial, efficient, and accessible way, balancing import and interest while fostering independent thought.

TLDR is a completely independent & privately owned media company that's not afraid to tackle the issues we think are most important. The channel is run by a small group of young people, with us hoping to pass on our enthusiasm for politics to other young people. We are primarily fan sourced with most of our funding coming from donations and ad revenue. No shady corporations, no one telling us what to say. We can't wait to grow further and help more people get informed. Help support us by subscribing, engaging and sharing. Thanks!

Today I learned that the UK has a thing where the king's speech is not actually things the king wanted to talk about.

If I wrote the kings speech I make him say loads of funny names like Mike Hunt and Ben Dover

A question for the ages:
What WILL Starmer as PM?

[battenburg]

A man recieved a mysterious call one night... and the caller said:
What will Starmer what as PM?
But Starmer was as PM
Then who was phone?

[redefined]

When everyone asks what will Starmer as PM but nobody asks how will Starmer as PM :(

[emmanuelalagbala]

Once again begging for a permanent weekly version of "What has Starmer done in his first week"

[C.I...]

What will Starmer as PM?
What will Starmer what as PM?

Best wishes to the Uk and may the next coming years be fruitful for y’all-

Anyone happy that politics is already going back to being nice and boring again?

I’m not saying the problems are gone but hopefully the mad flailing around but accomplishing nothing is done with.

Remember, in German (whence King Charles’ ancestry comes), the word “will” means “wants”, so TLDR were just paying homage to that. The question in its original German would be “Was will Starmer als PM”, so the English translation was accurate.

Guys the thumbnail is wrong. It says 'What will Starmer as PM?'

[soundscape]

Something feels slightly off in the thumbnail...

“As only the most hardened TLDR News viewing politicos” OMG, that’s me! Thanks for the shoutout.

They could save a lot of money by just emailing everyone I reckon.

It now seems that London wants to do its homework
instead of wanting to hold Brussels responsible for the situation.
Previous governments were more concerned with partying and complaining about the EU.

The fact most of the stuff mentioned is stuff we already knew about is a good thing - I would rather that than them swerving and doing something not mentioned in the campaigning for the election

I suspect HS2 being restored to its original scope is in the cards, just not in the next year. HS2 without the extension to Manchester and Leeds was basically useless. This does give Starmer the opportunity to re-tender the project under more favorable conditions with less Tory backscratching running the costs into the stratosphere.

You guys are always the best way to sum up the latest political news. Keep up the good work 👏

Loving these videos as a non-british person.

Its interesting that labor seems to favor devolving power to local governments. In the US, its typically the conservatives who argue for this.
