[the truth]

I applaud some of it, the limit on a house on benefits to £23000 is good, the freeze on vat and nat ins is good, 7 day nhs is a noble goal though Id focus on getting people scanned more too, the increased childcare is good

the bad is why freeze working tax credits? that's an own goal that will stop some getting off benefits to go to work..wheres the focus on banking and regulting corrupt corporations and energy companies, nothing on the hs2 fiasco,.also where are the plans for ensuring immigrants must pay into the pot for 4 or 5 years before qualifying for all benefits?





"An EU referendum by the end of 2017 is among a packed programme of new laws in the first Conservative Queen's Speech in nearly two decades.

It also includes more free childcare, an income tax freeze and the right-to-buy for housing association tenants.

David Cameron said the 26-bill package was a "programme for working people" that would create full employment and "bring our country together".

The measures were unveiled by the Queen amid the usual pomp and ceremony.

The proposed legislation includes:



◾A ban on income tax, VAT and national insurance increases for five years
◾A freeze on working age benefits, tax credits and child benefit for two years from 2016/17
◾30 hours free childcare a week for three and four-year-olds by 2017
◾Cutting the total amount one household can claim in benefits from £26,000 to £23,000
◾More devolution for Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland and "English votes for English laws" at Westminster
◾500 more free schools and more failing and "coasting" schools turned into Academies
◾A ban on so-called legal highs
◾A "truly seven day" NHS by 2020
