UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson has said his government "won’t settle for going back to the way things were", as the UK emerges from the coronavirus pandemic.
He promised to end the "criminal waste of talent" in parts of the UK by spreading opportunity more evenly.
It came as the government unveiled 30 planned new laws for the year ahead in the Queen’s Speech.
Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer said Johnson’s programme lacked urgency and ambition.
So what’s in the Queen’s Speech and what does it tell us about the government’s priorities?
And how might the government’s ‘levelling up’ agenda impact people’s lives?
