Queen's Speech: Five things to watch out for news.sky.com
From Brexit to a Trump visit, what to look out for in the first Queen's Speech by a minority government in almost 40 years.Enjoy it while it last folks – the Government has said that, unusually, there won't be one next year. The Imperial crown will be gathering dust 'til 2019.
Theresa May had hoped and expected that this Queen's Speech – her first as Prime Minister- would be laying out her governing priorities with the aid of a huge Commons majority.
She would be able to remould government policy as she saw fit, unencumbered by the opposition or her own obstreperous MPs.
Instead, she finds herself without a majority, without the deal she promised with the DUP – and thus it becomes the first Queen's Speech in decades where the outcome is in doubt (albeit only marginally)
