Commuter rockets to Mars, scrapping income tax, free unicorns for all - he could promise it all, safe in the knowledge he won't have to deliver it. That's because unlike most Queen's Speeches, which lay out laws for the coming year, this one is likely to be voted down - and then be scrapped anyway if the country plunges into a snap election. Despite the open goal, though, there are some things in Boris Johnson's announcement that still aren't that great to look at - or that aren't mentioned at all. Jeremy Corbyn picked up on some of them when he slammed the lack of action on social care and mental health, adding the speech was "shockingly weak on education". We've delved into a bit more detail. Here's some of the small print Boris Johnson didn't want you to read. 1. There's still no plan to fix social care Boris Johnson has been accused of paying "lip service" to social care after the Queen's Speech didn't give a time limit or details of any reform. Notes to the Queen's Speech said: "We will bring forward substantive proposals to fix the crisis". But they gave no time limit, did not confirm the nature of any proposals, and did not propose a law in the current one-year Parliament. They repeated an already-announced £1.5bn cash injection. But £500m of that has to be raised by councils through a 2% rise in the council tax precept. Jane Ashcroft, chief executive of Anchor Hanover, England’s largest not-for-profit provider of care and housing for older people, said: "It is exasperating to see government once again pay lip service to social care, and failing to meaningfully address the deepening crisis." Kathryn Hill, Director of England at Carers Trust, said: “Carers Trust is extremely concerned to hear the government is proposing only a partial commitment to reform." Genevieve Edwards, Director of External Affairs at the MS Society, said: “It’s incredibly troubling that social care for working-age disabled people has been dismissed yet again." A No10 spokesman said the government had "set out its commitment" to reform social care to "end the fear of people having to sell their homes to pay for care". But he admitted: "I can't set out a timeline now. We will be setting it out in due course." 2. The Tories are trying to 'rig' the next election after it slipped out a pledge to force voters to show ID. Her Majesty said: "My Government will take steps to protect the integrity of democracy and the electoral system in the United Kingdom." But the small print confirms this involves ramming ahead with a highly controversial ID scheme, despite concerns it will lock millions out of
