“Boris Johnson leads Britain in distress and ignores those in need” – Voice of the Mirror

The gaping hole in the Queen’s speech setting out the government program for the next 12 months was a sad excuse for a proper plan. Johnson and his administration have little of value to offer

The promise to ease the cost-of-living crisis without offering new help to families was typical of a prime minister who doesn’t hear the word.

The gaping hole in the Queen’s speech, outlining the Conservative Government’s program for the next 12 months, was a sad excuse for a proper plan.

Boris Johnson, who raised taxes to 1940s levels and is presiding over the worst fall in living standards since the 1950s, is a Tory wreaking havoc on Britain.

And where did the bill promise to improve workers’ rights? Nowhere to be seen.

Brawling, ruthless privatization of Channel 4, a Bill of Rights hobbyhorse plus a crackdown on all protests under the guise of fighting Extinction Rebellion and Insulate Britain is a ragtag list.

Brexit will not provide opportunities if it gives the European Union an excuse to dilute equal pay and scrap health and safety laws.

Johnson and his administration have little of value to offer.

legacy of change

Prince Charles stepping in for the Queen at the State Opening of Parliament could mark the start of an unofficial reign, with the heir taking on the monarch’s duties.

As the 96-year-old’s health deteriorated, we could witness the transfer of power in a platinum jubilee year celebrating her extraordinary 70 years on the throne.

With close support from grandson William, change is happening before our eyes.

Charles did everything that was asked of him today and we will likely see more of him and less of the monarch in the future.

court cases disclosed

Wagatha Christie’s trial lives up to its bill when Rebekah Vardy was questioned about revealing details of an alleged affair with singer Peter Andre earlier in her life.

The High Court libel fight with fellow WAG colleague Coleen Rooney proves the old warning that washing dirty laundry in public exposes those involved.
