The Spin

Narrative A

Starmer's government has set a new tone for British politics by promising a government of service rather than political interest. With Labour at the helm, Starmer will reform, revive, and rejuvenate the country and its economy.

Narrative B

While the King's speech outlines the government's plans, the draft bills often get bogged down, side-tracked, and amended. New problems keep popping up that seize the agenda and divert the government's attention from its initial aims.
