The UK's Labour government, led by Prime Minister Kier Starmer, has outlined its legislative agenda for the upcoming term. The program aims to promote economic growth and stability through measures reminiscent of past Labour governments. Key initiatives include nationalization, increased central control over planning, and enhanced worker power. A major focus will be on industrial policies and green energy, with a public-owned clean power company, Great British Energy, set to be established in Scotland. The government also plans to introduce a bill to prevent future prime ministers from making permanent tax and spending changes without an assessment by the Office of Budget Responsibility.

    1. They will also pursue sustainable growth by encouraging investment in industry, skills and new technologies.
    2. My government's legislative program will be mission led and based upon the principles of security, fairness and opportunity for all.
    3. A bill will be introduced to modernise the asylum and immigration system, establishing a new Border Security Command and delivering enhanced counter terror powers to tackle organised immigration crime.
    4. Taken together these policies will enhance Britain's position as a leading industrial nation and enable the country to take advantage of new opportunities that can promote growth and wealth creation.
    5. Its commitment to Nato will remain unshakeable. It will maintain a strong Armed Forces, including the nuclear deterrent. To ensure that the United Kingdom's defence capabilities are matched to the changing nature of global strategic threats, my government will conduct a Strategic Defence Review.
    6. It is my government's objective to see rising living standards in all nations and regions in the United Kingdom.
    1. Inflation at 2 per cent, unemployment 4 per cent, and the fastest-growing economy in the G7 so far this year. The party opposite has inherited an economy that is already on an upward trajectory.
    2. The party opposite has successfully tapped into the public's desire for change, but they must now deliver change.
    1. The snake oil charm of populism may sound seductive, but it drives us into the dead end of further division and greater disappointment.
    2. Too many people currently live with the threat of insecurity and injustice, and so we will make sure everyone can grow up in the secure housing they deserve. We will introduce tough new protections for renters, end no-fault evictions and raise standards to make sure homes are safe for people to live in.
    3. Rebuilding our country will not happen overnight. The challenges we face require determined, patient work and serious solutions.
