Keir Starmer planning new king’s speech after May elections

Keir Starmer is planning a new King's Speech after the May elections as a reset for the government, with the current parliamentary session expected to end the week after the elections in England, Wales, and Scotland. The timing is significant amid speculation about Starmer's leadership and potential challenges following the election results. The last King's Speech was in July 2024, but legislative progress has been hampered by parliamentary issues and external factors. The upcoming speech is expected to include measures such as changes to the House of Lords, an AI and copyright bill, an immigration bill, and potentially further bills on leaseholds, welfare, and electoral reform. The late end to the session could allow for the completion of the assisted dying bill.
