The proposed legislation was announced by King Charles III as he addressed Parliament in his first State Opening, as the monarch set out Rishi Sunak’s government’s policy agenda for the year ahead.
It is the first such speech King Charles III has made since assuming the throne last year. It is also the first of Mr Sunak’s tenure in No 10 – and most likely the last prior to an expected general election next year.
Looking at this splendour, it is hard to imagine that this man, the king, rules over a country with literally thousands upon thousands of food banks dotted throughout the country and, worse still, 271,000 homeless people in England, 123,000 of whom are children!
Yet all the vacuous Rishi Sunak can worry about is introducing ridiculous, undemocratic laws such as a smoking ban!
