Opposition Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn accused Prime Minister Boris Johnson of dragging politically neutral Queen Elizabeth into the country’s looming general election by holding a Queen’s Speech.
Corbyn also promised Britain a radical new political agenda.
Britain is trapped in an acute political crisis over voters’ 2016 decision to leave the European Union and PM Johnson’s government has no majority in parliament, no agreed plan for leaving the bloc, and only three weeks until the exit deadline.
Both the ruling Conservatives and Labour want an early election, but Corbyn says he will not agree to one until Johnson has ruled out the possibility that Britain leaves the EU without a deal.
