The Queen's Speech

No change, no hope. That is the message of this Queen’s Speech.

This is the speech that was supposed to be David Cameron’s answer to the clear message from the electorate last week.

But on today’s evidence, they still don’t get it.

Alongside implementing Labour's five point plan for jobs and growth, Labour's Finance Bill would reverse tax cuts for people earning over £150,000 a year. We would use that money to help pensioners on fixed incomes hit by the "granny tax" and we would restore cuts in tax credits which have hit families.

Labour's Energy Bill would break up the dominance of the Big Six power companies and require them by law to offer 4 million elderly people the lowest rate available.

Labour's Transport Bill would stop train operators raising fares by more than one per cent above inflation, stop them exploiting commuters with unadvertised rates and give local authorities more control over bus firms.

Labour's Consumer Bill would give new powers to the Financial Conduct Authority and Competition and Markets Authority to stop rip-off surcharges by banks, low-cost airlines and pension firms.

Labour's Jobs Bill would ensure some of the money raised from a tax on bank bonuses is used to provide real jobs, with real wages and responsibilities, to more than 100,000 young people aged 18-24.
