Mark Chadbourn: The new Chancellor Rachel Reeves will also be introducing the Anti-Truss Bill (my words) - ensuring the Office for Budget Responsibility will publish independent assessments of major fiscal events so the UK never again gets a Liz Truss farrago that almost destroyed the economy.

The UK Government will legislate for automatic voter registration.

The forthcoming King’s Speech is still being put together but it will include at least 30 bills including the formation of clean energy company GB Energy, devolution of a range of powers to mayors and councils and new border security.

All sounds very sensible and grown up.

Except any new Conservative government could do the opposite, scrap the law and then wreck the economy again.

Or see the assessment published and carry on anyway.

So are you suggesting that the government passes no new bills, does nothing good, and just let's time go by? What you posted is very defeatist.

Not at all, I was was pointing out is that the next non-Labour government can reverse actions the Labour government has taken. Just as Labour have reversed solar farm bans, allowing offshore wind and have put a stop to new oil exploration licenses. It doesn't mean do nothing.

Anti-Truss bill lol aka the lettuce best before date.
