"As the UK leaves the EU, my government will ensure that it continues to play a leading role in global affairs"

Boris Johnson looked like he was trying to crack a few jokes.

Jeremy Corbyn looked like he wanted to tell the lying racist fool to fuck off. #QueensSpeech

The people who banged on about the extravegance of the EU parliament have been awfully quiet about a horse-drawn stage coach delivering a massive jeweled crown to sit on top of an actual Queen this morning
