John xxxxxx - today’s King's Speech made clear:

This government has been elected to deliver nothing less than national renewal.

To stop the chaos of the past 14 years, turn the page on an era of politics as noisy performance and return it to public service and start the work of rebuilding our country.

A determined rebuilding, a patient rebuilding, a calm rebuilding.

A rejection in this complicated and volatile world of those who could only offer the easy answer - the snake oil charm of populism.

As the last 14 years has shown, that road is a dead end for this country. It does nothing to fix our foundations and the British people have rejected it, as they have throughout our history.

What people really want is change and change is what this government of service will deliver.

Guided by clear missions, with a long term plan to fix the foundations, a plan which starts, as it must, with our economy. A Budget Responsibility Bill that will protect the living standards of working people from the chaos they endured under the last government.

A commitment, no matter how fierce the storms, to economic stability as the foundation we build on. That is a changed Labour Party at work. And then on that foundation, we take the brakes off Britain - go further and faster on measures to generate higher economic growth.

Workers and business united in the cause of wealth creation. We will reform the planning rules, a choice ignored for 14 years, to build the homes and infrastructure that Britain needs. We will level up rights at work, a choice ignored for 14 years, to deliver security and dignity at work.

We will create a new industrial strategy, invest in cleaner, cheaper British energy, harness the power of artificial intelligence, improve our public transport, confront our historic challenges on technical education, transform our skills agenda in partnership with business, and push for devolution to the cities, regions and councils of England.

A plan for wealth creation that will finally lead us out of the pay more, get less doom loop.

And we will raise standards in our schools, improve the confidence, the wellbeing and the happiness of our children, because that is so often the barrier that holds them back.

We will signal our intent to transform society with measures on crime and justice. That will not only rid our streets of anti-social behavior, but also launch a new mission to reduce violence against women and girls by fifty percent.

This is how we will go about our business. Mission-driven. Focused on ambitious goals. Bringing together the best of our country, committed to the practical difference, big and small, that we can make together.

That is the reward and the hope of service. The business of change and the work of this government of service that we will take on.

We will stop the chaos, fix our foundations and take the brakes off Britain.

A King's Speech that returns politics to serious government. That returns government to public service. And that returns public service to the interests of working people.

That is the path of national renewal, the rebuilding of our country. And we take another step today.

Thank you,

Keir Starmer
Prime Minister of the United Kingdom
