The leaked details of the Queen’s speech, a major breach of protocol in itself, offers us a sneak preview of what we can expect today.
Here’s a neat little graphic for you, courtesy of the Daily Mail. Thoughts?

Umm… the Queen’s Speech is tomorrow?
The old school Tory tendency to kneel before business and swallow is fully in evidence there. Note that ‘Stopping Labour’s increase in employers’ NI’ contribution isn’t followed by ‘…and charging it to employee NI’.
A single “welfare-to-work scheme” sounds ominous.
Graphic needs to be rearranged so that each bill is put next to it’s corresponding anti-bill.
So ‘axing scores of labour quangoes to save money’ needs to go next to ‘create an independent NHS board’
‘giving police forces an elected figurehead’ needs to be lined up with ‘scrapping plans for an expensive shake-up of local government’. ‘giving communities and councils more powers’ can go in there too.
The Great Repeal Bill (does this actually repeal anything? the summary is all about new laws) needs to go with the ‘boosting minister’s powers to freeze terrorist assets’.
And so on.
‘Freeing more schools to become academies’ opposite ‘making schools adopt a strict uniform policy even if they don’t want to’.
