"The government will aim to "restore hope" in the King's Speech on Wednesday as Sir Keir Starmer remains under pressure over his future as Labour leader. Key policies on immigration, green energy, and reforms to special educational needs and disabilities (send) schooling are expected to feature prominently in the speech as the government sets out its legislative priorities for the next parliamentary session."
"The speech, to be read by the King in the House of Lords before MPs and peers, will also propose new laws to facilitate action against state-backed groups, including the potential proscription of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps. This follows recent attacks on the Jewish community in London."
"On immigration, legislation is anticipated to restrict the use of Article 8 of the European Convention of Human Rights, a provision guaranteeing the right to private and family life, often cited by migrants without visa or asylum qualifications. Further measures could deny appeal rights to more individuals and establish an independent appeal body, moving claims away from judges."
