speech. it was a legislative programme dominated by brexit. the speech was notable for the absence of major policies which featured in the conservative manifesto. we start with what is in the programme. 27 bills in all, eight of them linked with brexit and a bill to tackle domestic violence in england and wales, and to approve the second half of the high speed two rail network among those left out was the promise to create grammar schools in england. the controversial reforms for social care will go out to consultation. there is no mention of means testing the winter fuel allowa nce. means testing the winter fuel allowance. labour said the programme didn't tackle the crisis in public services. laura kuenssberg explains. nothing normal this time. a sense of occasion but a political year like no other. despite the grandeur though beefeaters still have to get the bus and she for now is still the prime ministerialjack. your first

and last prime —— prime ministerialjack. your first and last prime -- queen's speech, prime minister? the music and the marching still happened, yet with the election held in a hurry no time for the queens courses to practise. so the royal bentley had to do. —— horses. the queen arriving for the 64th time. her son, not the queen arriving for the 64th time. herson, not her the queen arriving for the 64th time. her son, not her husband, alongside. yeah, get your skates on. laughter after all, with royal ascot on, this was not the queens only business of the day. but she was here to lay out the plan for this government. the political situation even more awkward than the small talk between these two. my government's priority is to secure the best possible deal as the

country the best possible deal as the cou ntry leaves the best possible deal as the country leaves the european union. my country leaves the european union. my ministers are committed to working with parliament, the devolved administrations, business and others to build the widest possible consensus on the country's future @ the european union. brexit the priority but a promise the government will work more closely with rivals as well as supporters —— outside the european union. a bill will be introduced to repeal the european communities act and provide certainty for individuals and businesses. this will be complemented by legislation to ensure that the united kingdom makes a success. at grammar schools column, plans to change pension benefits gone, the government social ca re benefits gone, the government social care idea gone, controversial tory ma nifesto care idea gone, controversial tory manifesto ideas have simply disappeared. this isn't just westminster‘s big day out. for the prime minister, a vital occasion to

try to reassert herself. prime minister, a vital occasion to try to reassert herselflj prime minister, a vital occasion to try to reassert herself. i call the prime minister. knowing that as the power balance around here is transformed, so must sheet. the election also showed that as it faces the challenges of our future, our country is divided, red versus blue, young versus old, lee versus remain. as i said last week that has for all of us is whether to reflect divisions or help the country ove rco m e divisions or help the country overcome them. with humility and resolve this government will seek to do the latter. we will do what is in the national interest and we will work with anyone in any party that is prepared to do the same. park and energised labour will use every trick instead to make political trouble —— —— butan trick instead to make political trouble —— —— but an energised. people chose hope over fear and they sent an uncritical message that

austerity must be brought to an end. we area austerity must be brought to an end. we are a government in waiting with a policy programme... —— an unequivocal. with a policy programme that ensues and engaged millions of people in this election. in the weeks ahead with no tory majority, every vote, every mp, every party will count. she hasn't been able to put forward her headline pledges from her manifesto. if theresa may can't put forward a queen's speech based on her manifesto, how can she negotiate wrecks at? this queen's speech lacked content, no attempt to tackle underfunding in schools, hospitals and the police, and the pm is lacking vision in where she wants to take the country. the speech was emptied of theresa may's ambitions, they disappeared with her majority. what remains is the biggest task of all, getting brexit through parliament. before any of that can

begin the prime minister must the —— must show she has enough clout to govern at all. the government needs cool heads in this hot summer. police say 200 people turned up to a protest outside parliament. we need you out of the way now. but in or out, resistance to the weakened prime minister could come from all directions. two men have died after a crane collapsed at a building site in crewe in cheshire. police were called to the site where they found three people trapped. one man who is believed to be the crane driver was taken to hospital by ambulance. his condition isn't known. today the first funeral for one of those killed in the grenfell tower
