 That was one of the many traditions seen in a grand ceremony today, marking the start of Britain's new Parliament. The House of Commons was summoned to listen to King Charles III speak in the House of Lords. The King then delivered the government's agenda and outlined the laws needed to be approved by the House of Commons. Britain's new Prime Minister, Keir Starmer, and his Labour Party will now set out their first package of proposed laws to try and help stabilise the UK's public finances and spur economic growth.
