UK’s New Labour Government Says It Will Turn the Page on Cost-of-Living Crisis and Boost Economy

London: Britain's new centre-left government says it will help the country move on from a cost-of-living crisis by focusing on wealth creation, as it sets out its plans for the coming year.

A speech written by the Labour government' and delivered in Parliament by King Charles III, says Labour will get more houses and infrastructure projects built, strengthen workers' rights and create a new industrial strategy.

The king said the goal is to “see rising living standards in all nations and regions of the United Kingdom.” Labour won Britain's July 4 election by a landslide, as voters eager for change after years of political and economic pain ousted the Conservative Party after 14 years in office.
