Brexit dominates the Queen's Speech

Today's Queen's Speech is government by theatre. The Queen is being asked to deliver a Conservative Party election broadcast full of promises that are simply undeliverable. My thoughts here. #monday #QueensSpeech #brexitnews #brexit

Queen Elizabeth II is outlining the U.K. government’s legislative agenda in a speech on Monday.

Airline Insolvency Reforms are mentioned in today's Queen's Speech after the failures of Monarch and Thomas Cook as well as several other airlines.

Great to hear the Queen say in her speech in Parliament today: “Proposals will also be brought forward to promote and protect the welfare of animals including banning imports from trophy hunting” #QueensSpeech
