King Charles III will lay out UK government agenda as Starmer's job hangs in the balance
LONDON (AP) — King Charles III on Wednesday will deliver the government’s legislative program for the coming year to lawmakers with all the pomp and historic trappings that accompany the ceremonial opening of Britain's Parliament.The question is whether Prime Minister Keir Starmer will be around to implement it and, even if he survives the latest government crisis, whether he will have the authority to push his proposals through Parliament.
