🚨 WATCH: Keir Starmer says he isn't sure working class people believe Labour care about them "That's tough to say, when you come from a working class background like me"






Cabinet readout: The Prime Minister opened Cabinet by inviting the leaders of the Commons and the Lords to update on business in both Houses ahead of the prorogation of Parliament. Turning to the King's Speech next month, the Prime Minister said this would not be a return to the status quo. He said the King's Speech would be an opportunity to build towards a stronger Britain, looking forward with hope and opportunity. He then invited the leaders of both the Commons and the Lords and the Chief Whip to brief Cabinet on the process of the King's Speech and its handling. The Cabinet then discussed the legislative programme underpinning the Speech. The Prime Minister then asked the Deputy Prime Minister to update Cabinet on reforms to the courts system. The Deputy Prime Minister set out how the government had inherited a justice system on the brink of collapse. He said this was reflected in cancelled hearings, collapsed trials and a backlog of 80,000 cases. He set out why structural reform was necessary to reduce the backlog and deliver swifter justice for victims. The Prime Minister spoke in support of the plan for reform, referencing the impact of court delays on victims of VAWG and added the human cost was huge.

NEW Interesting. Jonathan Powell was only security vetted after he was appointed National Security Adviser, says Morgan McSweeney. 6 Sept 2024: Powell made special envoy on Chagos deal; 8 Nov 2024: Powell made NSA. Obviously no need for deep vetting to negotiate on Chagos? gov.uk/government/new…
