Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Labor is preparing the King's Speech in the UK. This
is Keir Starmer's new Labor government with twenty five to
thirty bills reportedly going to be introduced Kevin Grays in
the UK for US, Kevin, what are they looking at?
What are they going to start with?

Speaker 2 (00:14):
Right? And it's looking like a list of pretty much
what they promised at the start. We don't know yet.
This is ahead of Wednesday's King's Speech. The king Speech
is basically when the government of the day outlines its
a legislative program what it hopes to achieve in that time.
So it looks like we're going to get new promises
on house building. Big shortage of housing over here, very

(00:36):
difficult for first time buyers to get on the ladder,
and one way this government is determined to do it
is to build more houses. The question is we're a
small country, so where are you going to put them?
Improving transport that'll be pretty popular, particularly some of the
links outside of London which are so good, and also
increasing jobs and securing clean energy. They want to set
up a sort of national GB Energy company and a

(00:59):
real driving towards more solar energy and more on shore
solar and more onshore wind as well. Many people again
very concerned about what our countryside is going to look like,
thirty five bills in total. We'll wait to see what
comes out.

Speaker 1 (01:15):
All right, and of course in an hour about an
hour and fifteen, you're going to be quite busy watching
the telly I mentioned.

Speaker 2 (01:21):
Yes, so the Euro's Final between England and Spain. Of
course I have to say you Spain are the bookie's
favorites eleven to eight on England thirteen to ten. So
a little bit in it, not too much. As we
go into this, it's been believed in not fifty eight
years since England last won a major championship. You have

(01:42):
to go back to the World Cup of nineteen sixty six.
There have been four hundred and fifty seven players who
have represented England since then, and well eleven managers as well,
so it's been a time. Of course. I have to
say that the English play so far haven't been great
in the tournament. They managed to get through, but it

(02:02):
has been pretty negative and defensive at times. The Spanish
play is completely opposite, very open, very free flowing, very quick.
It'll be interesting to see these two sides come head
to head in an Iron ten.
