Boris Johnson proclaims a slew of measures in the Queen’s Speech to ‘turbocharge’ Britain.
Boris Johnson’s blueprint to “turbocharge” Britain through the devastating cost of living storm was announced today by Prince Charles.
After Covid threw his premiership off course, the PM used the Queen’s Speech to unveil a slew of new laws to get it back on track.
To improve education standards, he proposes a crime crackdown, comprehensive planning reforms, and a crackdown on students skipping school.
The absence of prompt assistance for people struggling to make ends meet was instantly criticized by critics.
The Prime Minister emphasized that improving the economy was his top priority and that it was critical to lowering bills for low-income families.
However, he warned that no more support money would be forthcoming anytime soon, as it would further deplete the nation’s budget.
“Her Majesty’s government’s aim is to expand and strengthen the economy and assist ease the cost of living for families,” Charles said in Parliament, speaking in place of his ill mother.
Mr Johnson praised Rishi Sunak’s announcement of £22 billion in aid to help cushion the cost of living onslaught in his own prologue.
“No country is immune, and no government can realistically insulate everyone from the impact,” he cautioned in a chilling dose of realism.
He claimed that paying out more money and accumulating more debt will only hurt the economy in the long run.
“We must also remember that every pound of taxpayer money we spend today on lowering bills is a pound we are not spending in lowering bills and prices in the long run,” he added. And so, if anything, this moment underscores the need of completing our mission to jumpstart the economy, create jobs, and expand opportunities across the country.”
Instead, he claimed that the greatest approach to lower sky-high bills was to unleash the economy.
The Prime Minister argued that Brexit will revitalize the economy and pledged a £1 billion burning of EU red tape.
He also announced ambitions to codify trade agreements with allies like Australia, and indicated he was close to doing so.
To win power back from EU judges, long-awaited proposals for a British Bill of Rights will be pushed through.
For the first time in six decades, the queen, who is 95 years old, did not attend the State Opening of Parliament.
Due to her difficulty walking, Her Majesty, 96, made the painful decision not to attend.
Following a chat between the Queen and her advisors, Prince Charles, 72, stepped in for his mother at Parliament.
Only two state openings have been missed by the monarch, in 1959 and 1963, while she was expecting the future princes Andrew and Edward.
In her absence, Charles assumed the principal constitutional responsibility of the head of state. Many will regard this as a fundamental shift in his role as president.
It’s also the first time William has attended the State Opening in a morning suit. He travelled independently from his father and stepmother, arriving ahead of them and pausing to greet dignitaries.
The throne was left empty because neither of the royals sat on it.
Charles did not wear a crown and sat beside future queen consort Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, in his navy uniform.
