Prince Charles attended the inaugural meeting of Parliament for the first time in place of his mother. Isabel II never missed the opening session of parliament, but movement issues prevented him from reading the text prepared by the government and was approved by the executive cabinet.
Therefore, Carlos set out the government’s priorities, one of which was to “grow and strengthen the economy and help reduce the cost of living for families.”
“His Majesty’s government will promote economic growth to improve the quality of life and finance sustainable investments in public services,” the Crown Prince said.
“These measures will be supported by a responsible approach to public funds, which will reduce debt while reforming and reducing taxes,” said Elizabeth II’s son, who also noted the Queen’s desire to host the Platinum Jubilee and Commonwealth Games in Birmingham in 2022.
However, according to some British media outlets, these promises are unlikely to materialize.
The Independent writes that despite promising to get the UK back on track “after the outbreak of Govt-19, there is no support for families struggling to survive in the package of measures in Boris Johnson’s new legislative plan. Face the cost of living.
“Johnson continues to oppose calls for an emergency budget to provide more aid, but instead offers the option of raising the ‘intelligence, compassion and hard work’ of the people in response to rising prices,” the English newspaper wrote.
Opposition groups called for the beleagured PM to resign.
“The Queen’s speech did nothing to help the millions of families facing rising bill prices and tearful inflation in their eyes,” Liberal Democrat leader Ed Davey was quoted as saying by the Guardian.
“Conservatives have failed to reduce VAT, which has saved families an average of 600 (about 700 euros) and failed to help the most vulnerable in our community,” Davey points out, “and the Prime Minister refuses to listen. One voter shows that he is “tired of being considered accepted by this conservative government.”
One step forward for Northern Ireland, Queen Elizabeth II’s text, although it does not directly refer to the law allowing Northern Ireland to abandon Brexit ethics, does imply an implication.
“The continued success and integrity of the entire United Kingdom is of paramount importance to His Majesty’s Government, including the internal economic relations between all its regions,” said Prince Charles. “His Majesty’s Government will uphold and uphold the Constitution.”
The reports come on the same day that UK Secretary of State Liszt prepares a bill to unilaterally remove key parts of the Northern Ireland protocol, eliminating the need for a freight test between Great Britain Brittany and Northern Ireland. Northern Ireland companies must comply with EU rules.
This is an important step for Northern Ireland, as the Democratic Unionist Party, which has been in the majority for the past 20 years, has argued that negotiations in London and Brussels would not be part of a coalition government with the nationalist Sinn Fin party. Does not lead to the abolition of the Brexit protocol for the region.
The Unionists who won every election in Northern Ireland in the last century suffered a major setback, which contributed to Sinn Fin’s victory. In part, the failure was due to their support for Brexit in the hope that it would reduce their ties with the Republic of Ireland.
However, when Boris Johnson accepted the “border of the Irish Sea”, they felt betrayed by London, which, as part of its negotiations with Brussels, imposed different trade rules on Northern Ireland than on the rest of England.
