Starmer orders King's Speech for week after May local elections
"From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging."
"Labour is set to share its agenda for the next phase of this government immediately after next year's crunch elections, it has been revealed. The King's Speech will reportedly take place on 12 or 13 May next year, just days after local elections are held across Britain on 7 May. These will cover the Scottish parliament, Welsh Senedd, several mayoralties and thousands of council seats in England."
The Independent covers issues from reproductive rights to climate change and Big Tech and funds reporting through donations to keep journalism available without paywalls. Investigations include the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC and documentary work such as 'The A Word', spotlighting American women fighting for reproductive rights. Labour plans to present its next-phase agenda immediately after next year's elections, with a King's Speech likely on 12 or 13 May, days after local elections on 7 May. Local contests will include the Scottish parliament, Welsh Senedd, multiple mayoralties and thousands of English council seats. Recent YouGov polling shows Reform UK leading at 27% versus Labour at 18%, raising concerns among Labour MPs and prompting discussion of potential leadership challenges.
