"I know I have my doubters and I know I need to prove them wrong, and I will," the prime minister said during a speech in London.

The King’s Speech included a Government pledge to publish two further pieces of legislation in draft form. A draft Audit Reform and Corporate Governance Bill, which was described in the King’s Speech as including a new regulator with a broader remit, has been abandoned by the Government.

Prime Minister Keir Starmer has vowed to prove his doubters wrong as he faces calls to step down after poor local election results for his Labour Party.

Despite a fifth of British Prime Minister Keir Starmer's fellow Labour Party lawmakers calling on him to step down, he says he'll "get on with governing."

Starmer said that key issues of growth, defense, the U.K.'s relationship with Europe and energy must be urgently addressed.
