The Papers: 'Golden age' promises and 'extreme Brexit' fears
The Queen outlined the government's agenda at Thursday's State Opening of Parliament
There's much analysis of The Queen 's Speech in Friday's Papers .
Prime Minister Boris Johnson set out a vision pointing "towards a harder Brexit and sweeping constitutional reforms". It feels the decision to make several amendments to the Brexit bill, including stripping out protections for workers' rights, destroyed "any illusions that the Prime Minister might have been planning to Face Down his hardline Eurosceptics and pivot towards a softer Brexit ".
Mr Johnson "cracked The Whip " by removing any role for Parliament to "tamper" with his plans. It adds that he is "parking his tanks on Labour's turf" and his plan aims to make The Party "irrelevant" at the next election.
For "one of The Most ambitious [speeches] in Modern Times ". It thinks it shows that Brexit can be done now the government has the numbers and The Will to do it. The way to win the next two elections, it argues, is to "liberate and enrich the parts of Britain that Labour let down".
a "sense of optimism, mission and sheer vitality" being on display in Parliament.
The great "gridlock" in The Commons is "finally over", argues. The Paper acknowledges that many of the Prime Minister 's plans to "revitalise The Nation will take years to Come to fruition", But it says "there is no time to lose in getting them under way".
It describes the plans as bold, But if he wants to achieve his ambition of 10 years in Downing Street he must learn from Tony Blair , who has said he didn't use the momentum of victory "to move further and faster at the beginning of his term".
it felt as though Mr Johnson wanted "two full terms in No. 10 to carry out his vision of how the UK can be transformed by 'blue collar conservatism'".
Writing for, Isabel Hardman believes that, for the First Time in a decade, the government can "confidently" say that it really "can do what it wants" without fear that its own MPs will "scupper" its policies "before they have a chance to be implemented".
The about Mr Johnson's approach, saying the speech was "long on promises But short on Commitments ".
the "absence" of a long-term plan to tackle The Social care crisis. The Paper 's editor, Oliver Duff , argues that The Pledge to Put £1bn a Year more into The System "falls far short of The Revolution needed".
The Daily Mail says there's "precious little clarity on social care reform, without which no amount of extra money will be enough to fix the NHS".
Independence challengeFirst Minister of Scotland Nicola Sturgeon 's release of a document calling for a second referendum on Scottish independence is part of a "small But significant ratcheting up of the tension between the governments in London and Edinburgh ".
Ms Sturgeon was speaking at her official Bute House residence in EdinburghIt thinks the true test for SNP's plans may be the Holyrood elections in 2021, which could be the moment when Mr Johnson cannot block a referendum any longer.
he must recognise that The Challenge from Scotland, underlined by Ms Sturgeon, "cannot Just Be met with snobbish insults".
In The World of financeThe the expected announcement of The Bank of England's new governor, reporting that The Chief executive of the Financial Conduct Authority, Andrew Bailey , has emerged as The Favourite .
The Paper says the candidates' views on leaving the EU were a key Factor - and the director of the London School of Economics, Dame Minouche Shafik , was rejected by the Prime Minister because of her criticism of Brexit .
on its revelations that traders gained access to Bank of England news conferences before they were officially broadcast.
It says The Bank "should have been aware that its press conferences risked being hijacked after the European Central Bank addressed a similar issue this Year ".
an "astonishing embarrassment" for The Bank and believes it "raises troubling questions about its competence".
Andrew Sentance , a Former Member of The Bank 's Monetary Policy committee, that The Breach "raises questions about how secure The Bank 's communications are".
Across the pondThe vote by the US House of Representatives to impeach President Trump was, "the easy bit". It says the much harder bit of convicting him is yet to Come .
"The Risk of impeachment backfiring is real" - But it concludes "the danger of not acting" would "send the worst message to Mr Trump and to The Presidents who Follow ".
"questions continued to swirl about the timing and scope" of The Trial in The Senate , while the LA Times talks of the hearing being in Doubt .
Some leading Democrats are "pushing to delay" the transfer of the charges to The Senate and others are "advocating that they be withheld altogether". It appears likely, concludes The Paper , that the limbo could "persist until the New Year ".
