King Charles III outlined the new Labour government's plans under Prime Minister Keir Starmer during the State Opening of Parliament on July 17, 2024.

The government aims to prioritize economic stability, fairness, and opportunities for all.

Key reforms include nationalizing rail companies and introducing a new employment rights bill.

A proposed Planning and Infrastructure Bill seeks to streamline infrastructure delivery and empower local leaders.

The legislative programme addresses public health, antisocial behavior, border security, children's wellbeing, and public sector accountability.

Plans also include cleaning up waterways, addressing hereditary peers in the House of Lords, and consulting on tax changes.

Opposition parties, led by Conservative leader Rishi Sunak, are preparing to scrutinize the government's promises.

Traditional ceremony elements, including security checks and the presence of a cat named Clem, add to the challenge of gaining attention for the new policies amidst divisive populism.
