Queen's Speech

The Queen is setting out the government's priorities for the new parliamentary year, as Boris Johnson looks to put his stamp on Brexit, law and order, health and environmental issues. Watch live as the ceremony unfolds.
The monarch will set out Boris Johnson’s legislative plans on Monday but Labour has dismissed it as a "cynical stunt" and "a pre-election party political broadcast".
MPs will use first vote in Parliament to decide whether to give emergency service workers a pay rise.
'It’s not a Two Ronnies sketch. You can’t answer the question before last.'
About Queen's Speech
The Queen's Speech, written by the government, starts the parliamentary year. After the election, the speech is used to set out the government's agenda, what their priorities are, and what laws they hope to pass. The Queen's Speech is full of strange traditions, such as the Black Rod striking the door three times before it is opened.
