Rishi Sunak wants voters to see the Conservatives as taking difficult, ambitious choices, including on net zero and transport. He told MPs: ‘This King’s Speech is about what this government is about, taking long-term decisions to build a brighter future for our country. It builds on foundations that are far stronger than they were just a year ago.’ He said that the impact for the British people would be ‘more jobs, more investment, and higher growth, more police on the streets with stronger powers to keep us safe, places people are proud to call home, a country strong at home, confident abroad and with a better future ahead for all our people.’
But his main efforts were spent attacking Labour for changing its policies repeatedly, for having a shadow chancellor who copied and pasted some passages in her book, and for having policies that would let Britain down, including abandoning freeports and allowing 100,000 EU migrants into the UK every year.
