The Prime Minister will launch a fresh assault on the planning system - meaning communities can debate only “how, not if” homes are built.

Sir Keir’s controversial plans will be unveiled as he promises to “take the brakes off Britain” in a bid to boost economic growth.

Decisions on key infrastructure projects, such as the miles of pylons to link new windfarms to the grid, will increasingly be handed to ministers.

Other measures will include legislation to begin the re-nationalisation of the railways and controversial class-war plans to impose VAT on private schools.

It is expected to be one of the biggest legislative packages for years, containing almost 40 Bills and draft Bills.

Speaking ahead of today's State Opening of Parliament, the PM said: “Now is the time to take the brakes off Britain. For too long people have been held back, their paths determined by where they came from - not their talents and hard work.

“I am determined to create wealth for people up and down the country. It is the only way our country can progress, and my government is focused on supporting that aspiration.

“Today's new laws will take back control and lay the foundations of real change that this country is crying out for, creating wealth in every community and making people better off - supporting their ambitions, hopes and dreams.”

Sir Keir’s planning revolution has already faced strong opposition amid fears that it will put the countryside at risk.

Labour has also been accused of hypocrisy after it emerged half of Sir Keir's Cabinet has opposed plans for new homes in their constituencies.

Housing Secretary Angela Rayner, Chancellor Rachel Reeves and Foreign Secretary David Lammy are among the PM’s top team to complain to councils.

Other measures expected in today's speech include: Scrapping anti-strike laws and introducing a new package of “workers' rights”;

Legislation to set up a state-owned energy company GB Energy which will drive investment in green power projects such as solar and wind farms;

A package of electoral reform, including booting out hereditary peers and starting the process for introducing votes at 16;

A Criminal Justice Bill, including tougher powers on shoplifting and an extension of the ban on zombie knives;

A Border Security Bill to allow the new Border Security Command to use counterterrorism powers to help break the people smuggling gangs;

A Renters Reform Bill to ban no-fault evictions and force landlords to deal with mouldy flats;

The revival of Rishi Sunak's plan to prevent anyone born after 2009 from ever buying cigarettes.

Government sources said today's package would reflect Labour's manifesto pledge to kick-start the economy and generate the highest growth in the G7 by the end of this Parliament.
