UK elections / Accessibility issues faced by the blind

2024-07-08
 On Monday's Backchat, we're talking about UK election results and what to expect from its new government.

Labour Party leader Keir Starmer has become Britain’s new Prime Minister after his party’s landslide victory put an end to 14 years of Conservative rule.


Many leading Conservative politicians went down to defeat, including former Prime Minister Liz Truss. And Labour gained ground in Scotland, with the pro-independence Scottish Nationalists losing most of their seats.


The British Parliament will also see a new faction on its benches, as Nigel Farage's Reform UK outperformed expectations to gain four seats.


So how can the Conservatives recover from this huge defeat? And what policy shifts should we expect from the new government?


After 9:45, we learn more about a new navigation system for the visually impaired.
