Oh god. Here we go.
‘My government (the bastards)...’
Love the bit where Labour and Tory frontbenchers make light chatter for the cameras. ‘Started any parliamentary coups lately, prime minister?’
Disappointed the Queen didn’t reprise her EU flag hat this time around. Would probably have been too on the nose two Queen’s Speeches running.
Oh good! The first thing she says is to reiterate the government’s intention to break the Benn Act.
After injury of lying to her, giving her unlawful advice and dragging her into the greatest constitutional scandal of her reign, government adds insult of forcing the Queen to utter the gaslighting garbage ‘seize the opportunities of leaving the EU’. Shameless. #QueensSpeech
Then she announced the end of free movement - though with less obvious relish than Priti Patel did when announcing the same. #QueensSpeech
Oscar goes to Sajid Javid for remaining stony-faced as Queen name-checks ‘responsible fiscal strategy’. Does that come before or after he’s voluntarily crashed the pound? #QueensSpeech
That speech almost constituted cruel and unusual punishment. Monarchist or not, no nonagenarian deserves this level of public humiliation. Thank god it’s over.
