chickenbones-
I've seen that said but couldn't find anything about it (or anything about any MPs rebelling in any king's/queen's speeches).
Have you got any links? I'm intrigued by the principle generally now but really struggling to find anything online about it at all. The only reference to anything similar is Corbyn removing some MPs from front benches after they didn't follow the whip and chose to vote for some Queen's speech amendment related to Brexit but that isn't really the same.

As someone who hasn't really followed it in that much detail I would assume (but no idea if it is true) that voting against the king's speech would result in some kind of disciplinary action but I don't know whether it is commonly voted against or what happens if it is.
