The Queen's Speech - what was in it, what wasn't and what you should know

dailyrecord.co.uk:

Earlier today, Prince Charles delivered the Queen's speech at the opening of Parliament, with special permission granted by her Majesty.

This is the first time the Queen has missed this speech since 1963, due to her experiencing what Buckingham Palace described as “episodic mobility problems”.Instead, the Prince of Wales stood in for the major constitutional duty.The speech is basically a list of goals set out for the Parliamentary year.

As reported by Wales Online, Boris Johnson billed his legislative agenda as a blueprint to get the country “back on track” after the coronavirus pandemic, and will hope it can bolster his troubled premiership.

But attention will quickly turn to what the Queen’s Speech lacks, with the Prime Minister saying he cannot “completely shield” everyone from the cost-of-living crisis.
