  • Tuesday's King's Speech is the last realistic chance for them to get any legislation through ahead of the election

    Apart from the line at the end of the speech about anything else set before the chamber.

  • Yeah but they don't even seem to want to push anything big/radical through. I thought these lines from Laura Kuenssberg were telling (selected lines I've copied from the piece linked below, to be clear):

    New laws take a long time to go through Parliament. So while Prime Minister Rishi Sunak still has at least a year to try to turn things around before he must call an election, the speech is, insiders admit privately, more or less the last chance for the Conservatives to transform ideas into reality - if they want to get them on the statute book before we all go to the polls.

    Insiders caution against expecting any shiny new ideas or revolutionary plans.

    Some cabinet ministers worry it is all a bit "managerial", all a bit "tinkering", not really talking to the problems millions of voters are facing right now.
