queen's speech.ent general election left the governing conservative party without a parliamentary majority. so it is currently working on a deal to get the support of northern ireland's democratic unionist party. but that minority status could limit how bold the government wants to be, at a time when economic growth in the uk is slowing down and it is negotiating its exit from the european union. there are plans to stimulate the economy so measures to boost major travel infrastructure projects are thought to be on the cards. but plans to reform pensions, and social care for the elderly have proved very controversial and could be left off the government's wish list. with me is lorenzo codogno, london school of economics and political science and lc macro advisors ltd good morning. thank you for coming in. let's have a talk about what is likely to be in this speech. many are saying it will be brexit heavy. in many ways it will be watered down because there is still no deal with the democratic unionist

rarely could the queen have delivered such a speech so queen have delivered such a speech so thin andail and it is supposed to steer the course of parliament for the next two years. it seems that many of the government's manifesto promises have disappeared along with its parliamentary majority. there was no controversial mention of the demnetia tax or the scrapping of school lunches. there was also no mention of donald trump's proposed state visit this year although the home secretary has confirmed it will go ahead. it was dominated by brexit. the bill will be produced to repeal the current bill and provide certainty to businesses. this will complement legislation in order to make sure the united kingdom makes a go of brexit, integrating nuclear safeguards, agriculture and fisheries and other elements. we will seek a deep partnership with out will seek a deep partnership with our allies and forge new trading relationships across the globe.l speech may have been thin, but the adversity that the government is facing is very plain. does the prime minister have the numbers in the commons

the 13th person to hold the queen.re is no off, no handing over of seals, it‘s just a question, and answer and then add a question, and answer and then add a quest to form a government. i‘m sure the queen will be asking how are you going to do this, how do you view the prospects of forming a stable government as the other profoundly important issues theresa may will face amid greater uncertainty than she would have wished for at this point, but after that private conversation between the queen and theresa may one would imagine philip may would be invited for a few moments final conversation before the prime minister leaves the palace and makes her way back to downing street. thank you for now, we will be back with you, isn‘t that a magnificent sight? all the greenery of green park and stjames‘ park and indeed the gardens are buckingham palace, and the mall leading straight up to admiralty arch and the queen victoria memorial near the canada gate where nicholas witchell was talking to us from. the prime minister already

able to say when the queen 's speech will be.k for senior ministers was insisting talk of toppling mrs may is... the height of self-indulgence, the british people gave us an instruction, a result we wouldn't have chosen ourselves and it is our job to get on with the work of government and organise arrangements and we can get through the business of the house of commons and run the country. she is very good at that. foreign secretary borisjohnson said that it was time to get a grip. right now, mrs may is meeting conservative mps to explain herself... i think it is a very good sign of theresa may recognising the importance of cohesion in the party and the importance of us all working together, if we are to make the government work in difficult circumstances. i do not think there is uptight in the country for another general election or is there any demand among my colleagues for a leadership election either. theresa may wanted to return here with a majority that proved she can be a poll dominating political figure of her age. now s

the queen just walked into this situation, does the job. great juxtaposition of how the pictures can tell the story. does this represent the politics eyes —— politics of the disaster? it has already been about the politics, because of the decisions made, about renovating the spot. it was a series of decisions that are now being called into question. rightly, called into question. rightly, called into question. rightly, called in question? it is political. this is social housing. related by the council for people. it is political. if you can use the world existential, the people are deciding what destiny is going to be, shaping it, as fast as possible. this political party, the prime minister, not moving fast enough to address this. another front page. along similar lines. the times. may takes cover. again, from her point of view, brutal reading. advisers will be dismayed. she is the prime minister. she used to be the home secretary. i understand that she needs security. at the opening gesture, it should have been that i need to go there. ge

i think that the details of the queen's speech, the substance of the queen's speech is what matters.en known for some days that we are seeking an agreement with the democratic unionist party. that will provide the stability and parliamentary votes that will allow us to do the many important things we need to do. some loyal supporters were trying to cheer theresa may up. but the fact that scores of newly elected labour mps are arriving here and old tory mps departing means theresa may is going to have to change, whether she likes it or not. she is a weakened prime minister, with no majority in this place and that means any of the more controversial ideas in her manifesto will bite the dust. it's probably goodbye to more grammar schools, probably an end to the idea of tightening up pensioner benefits. the simple truth — theresa may can't guarantee she'll get her way. i think it would be great if she now gets the government in place, which she's started to do yesterday and starts these negotiations and then she can then herself make any decisions about the future. there are demands too,

the queen has calmed a shaken nation.ttle touches, the statement, drawing the nation together. but also the nice, d eft nation together. but also the nice, deft touch of announcing the award so they could an ounce pc keith palmer‘s medal, richly deserved. in a non— cynical way, it wasjust brilliant. it was just all the good quys brilliant. it was just all the good guys had gone out of the way and done things and really put their lives on the line, as pc keith did. that is so good. i will bring rachel in on this. we have the younger side of the royal family, in on this. we have the younger side of the royalfamily, the prince of compassion. look at that

the queen does not write her own lives, shejust queen does not write her own lives, she just delivers happening, but there is no consensus on it, and finding one is not there to be easy. indeed, the issue of division came up as the commons debated this beach. issue of division came up as the commons debated this beachm issue of division came up as the commons debated this beach. it is about developing a new partnership our european friends and neighbours. we are leaving the european union, not europe. it is that sees in this moment a change to delivery plan through stronger, fairer britain, by strengthening our economy, tackling injustice, and promoting opportunity aspiration for all. the rest were -- the risk for divided nations is that nothing will get done. so this government will broadly not make tough decisions on spending. we are tired of all—out. from cardiff to canterbury, people chose hope over fear. —— all that. and they sent an unequivocal message that austerity must be brought to an end. the government will swerve on other controversies, too. grammar schools? no mention. t
