The queen has outlined the government's legislative agenda for the year ahead at the state opening of parliament.

But this screen speech, the first in over two years, was delivered in the midst of the political and constitutional crisis provoked by Brexit on drafted by government with no majority in the Commons.

So there were immediate questions about the feasibility of Boris Johnson's program, which included planned measures on crime and health on delivering Brexit on the 31st of October.

Opposition parties say that with an election in the offing, the queen's speech was nothing more than a sham.

Is our political editor Laura Kononsberg explains plenty of but very bizarre circumstances.

Band playing for the Monarchs arrival the queen and the crown here to announce the government's plans Thief.

But they're a wish list for the very best, going through the traditional motions for a program that might never happen if this first promise is not kept.

My government's priority has always bean to secure the United Kingdom's departure from the European Union on the 31st of October.

That's a huge if on the doubts over Brexit dwarf the government's other ambitions.

New laws will be taken forward to help implement the National Health Service's long term plan in England.

Whether that's more funding for the health service, a point system for immigration or longer criminal sentences, my government is committed to addressing violent crime and to strengthening public confidence in the criminal justice system.

New sentencing laws will see that the most serious offenders spend longer in custody to reflect better the severity of their crimes.

This unlikely pair aren't inclined to agree on any of that.

Whatever small talk Boris Johnson was trying and failing to make Jeremy Corbyn's answer was unlikely to be sure.

No problem.

This government has no majority, and the prime minister wants a better outcome than his predecessor.

But just like Theresa May, Boris Johnson wants an early election alleged program.

Mr Speaker is a proper and propaganda exercise that the government cannot disguise.

This government has failed on Brexit for over three years.

They're barely beginning to under the damage of a decade of cuts to our public services.

Prime Minister promised that this Queens speech would dazzle us on closer inspection.

Mr.

Speaker, it is nothing more than a fool's gold minister as we prepare to get Brexit Dunk by October the 31st.

We are setting out now our vision of an open, global free trading United Kingdom, a high wage, low tax economy, the best place to invest, the best place to start a business, the best place to start a family and said your kids to school and without being without being show Venice stick or disrespectful to anywhere else in the world.

In important respects, this country is the greatest place.

Teoh cheered at the end by his own side, this prime ministers fate right now rests elsewhere in the hands of diplomats on his own negotiators in Brussels, waiting, waiting and waiting after the you said no, no and no again to the prime minister's proposals, there is no at least an Irish, maybe to a deal a deal is possible on it's possible.

This month may be possible this week, but we're not there yet.

Whether or not there's a deal matters more than anything said in parliament today.

It is just about possible to see how it could happen this week.

But there's a lot of secrecy about exactly how one cabinet minister said we are still in the middle of the forest and even if there is an agreement, it would still have to get through the Commons.

There is no form of Brexit that will be good for our country and the Liberal Democrats will continue to fight to stop Brexit deal or no deal.

The prime minister is driving Scotland and the UK into economic catastrophe, risking jobs, lively hoods on delivering our race to the bottom on fundamental rights.

I do think that the sooner we are able to implement the result of the referendum, the better.

But a wish for sooner rather than later just doesn't mean much.

Yet in modern political life, even traditions take on a different style.

Lawrenceburg, BBC News, Westminster Well, as we've heard among the policies outlined in the Queen's speech earlier priority was given to taking the UK out of the European Union by the 31st of October.

The world's also a new immigration bill which would end free movement on introduced a new points based system.

The sentencing bill called for longer sentences for serious offenders on foreign criminals.

On the environment, Bill would set legally binding targets to reduce the impact of climate change, including improving water quality and cutting air pollution.

Well, let's go live to Westminster enjoying our political editor there.

Laura Kingsburg, Onder Laura.

First of all, the blunt question is any of this content in the Queen's speech likely to become law?

Will you?

This is a wish list.

No, a workable lists because this is a government that doesn't have a majority to call its own.

And therefore, unless and until that changes, this is a list of programme for government that Boris Johnson would like Teoh enact if he had the numbers.

But he doesn't so unless he manages to tip into the general election campaign that he so desires and wins a majority.

Which is, of course, her heroic.

If for the Conservative Party.

As things stands, this is a taste of what the Tories would like to do in a different climate, but absolutely not a series of cast iron commitments.

And what happens in terms of getting a Brexit deal or not is the biggest determinant of that on Laura.

Just one more point on this, which is to do really with the overriding context off Brexit, clearly, on the likelihood or not on the deal Where are we there?

Well, Downing Street is trying to be extremely tight lipped.

Cabinet ministers tell me that's a good sign, because it means it's genuine.

The fact that things are leaking out all over the place suggests that actually, both sides are acting in good faith.

Both the U.

K and the U negotiators are doing their best under trying conditions.

But the fact that the proposals are not seeping out to get the oxygen of political criticism to be tourney down from their opponents is something that is actually on the side off a deal happening.

But the D.

U P.

Who, of course, whose votes the government wants very dearly were in Downing Street tonight.

They had talks with the prime minister for an hour and 1/2.

No suggestion, really, of any concrete proposals being put forward.

But it's clear that both sides here are willing, perhaps to show a bit of leg to budge a little bit.

Whether ultimately means that cake and come together in time to get a deal by the end of this week, we just don't know yet.

Okay, Laura, Thanks very much.

Laura Ginsburg there.

Let's go life to our Europe editor, Cata Adler, who's in Berlin on catcher?

What are you picking up from the European Union on the likelihood or not of a deal?

Well, that's right.

He remember Lynn today.

I'll be in Paris tomorrow for some background chats ahead of the EU leaders summit this week, and just really to get the idea of whether they think that they can be a deal with Boris Johnson or not.

And it's a bit confusing from the outside, isn't it?

Because last week we got the feeling there was an understanding between the Irish prime minister and Boris Johnson.

There was hope in the air.

Right now, though, there's no sign of smoke that a Brexit deal is nigh.

The main sticking point remains replacing that Irish a backstop, and particularly when it comes to customs, the you Hugh has got two main priorities here, one protecting the Northern Ireland peace process.

And so Berlin and Paris say they're delighted that island in the UK are talking.

The second priority, though, is protecting the EU's single market after Brexit and you leaders think the prime minister's proposals don't go far enough, they are hoping Germany and others that time pressure and political pressure on the prime minister.

He is the one who wanted to promise a new Brexit deal.

This week will make him to pivot towards the use preferred solution, which is pretty much keeping Northern Ireland inside the use customs union after Brexit.

Now the prime minister has said no on.

Really, I don't think there's enough time.

Nobody does here toe work out a detailed middle ground between the two sides before Thursday.

Tonight there's talk of a possible communique that would say there's been progress, but we need more time and then all you eyes will turn toe Westminster to see if they'll be request for a new Brexit extension or not.

Casio Many thanks once again Catt Sadler There are Europe editor in Berlin.
