On the Queen’s speech

Written By Thomas McKenna

Posted at 2.35pm UK time

Her Majesty the Queen has just pledged that her Government will boost infrastructure and lead Britain into a prosperous post-pandemic future. But why has our longest-serving Monarch been reduced to a mouthpiece for Johnson’s Government?

Reports have revealed that everything the Queen is listing in her speech comes directly from the Government. Her Majesty’s decision to make the Monarchy less involved in politics across her lifetime clearly has its drawbacks.

She’s been reduced to a megaphone for Government propaganda; where’s the scrutiny? What are her personal wishes for this cabinet?
