Newscast
Starmer Vs Streeting?

And then, Chris, the other thing that sort of scrambles your mind about this is people might say, oh, this is full of stuff that the government's already announced.

Newscast
Starmer Vs Streeting?

But that's what the King's Speech is.

Newscast
Starmer Vs Streeting?

Because the government announces things and then they actually have to go through the process of putting them in law so they actually happen.

Newscast
Starmer Vs Streeting?

And I'm just thinking things like tweaking the terrorism legislation

Newscast
Starmer Vs Streeting?

so that you can be found guilty of just wanting to cause serious violence, even if you don't have a political cause for that, which is a really important change to the law of the land.

Newscast
Starmer Vs Streeting?

Right.

Newscast
Starmer Vs Streeting?

So that's our rapid fire roundup of the King's speech.

Newscast
Starmer Vs Streeting?

And that gives us a bit of a roadmap for what will be happening in Parliament in the next few months or years, maybe.

Newscast
Starmer Vs Streeting?

So let's go back to what was happening today.

Newscast
Starmer Vs Streeting?

So then there's lots of tradition around the King's speech in Parliament.

Newscast
Starmer Vs Streeting?

You get some backbenchers doing quite funny speeches.

Newscast
Starmer Vs Streeting?

And I listened to Naz Shah, the Labour backbencher.

Newscast
Starmer Vs Streeting?

She was actually very, very funny.

Newscast
Starmer Vs Streeting?

Then Kemi Badenoch was quite funny.

Newscast
Starmer Vs Streeting?

quite harsh on Keir Starmer and the chaos as she perceives it on the Labour front bench.

Newscast
Starmer Vs Streeting?

And then we heard from Keir Starmer.

Newscast
Starmer Vs Streeting?

And if you listen to this, you'd think this is a person without a care in the world.

Newscast
Starmer Vs Streeting?

So a little Arsenal joke there.

Newscast
Starmer Vs Streeting?

And then, Chris, you've got, yeah, somebody who is fighting for their political life, sounding quite chilled.

Newscast
Starmer Vs Streeting?

And all his colleagues, many of whom want him to leave the job, cheering him on when he makes a joke.
