Boris Johnson could have put pretty much anything in today's Queen's Speech.

Commuter rockets to Mars, scrapping income tax, free unicorns for all - he could promise it all, safe in the knowledge he won't have to deliver it.

That's because unlike most Queen's Speeches, which lay out laws for the coming year, this one is likely to be voted down - and then be scrapped anyway if the country plunges into a snap election.

Despite the open goal, though, there are some things in Boris Johnson's announcement that still aren't that great to look at - or that aren't mentioned at all.

Jeremy Corbyn picked up on some of them when he slammed the lack of action on social care and mental health, adding the speech was "shockingly weak on education".

We've delved into a bit more detail. Here's some of the small print Boris Johnson didn't want you to read.

1. There's still no plan to fix social care

Boris Johnson has been accused of paying "lip service" to social care after the Queen's Speech didn't give a time limit or details of any reform.

Notes to the Queen's Speech said: "We will bring forward substantive proposals to fix the crisis". But they gave no time limit, did not confirm the nature of any proposals, and did not propose a law in the current one-year Parliament.

They repeated an already-announced £1.5bn cash injection. But £500m of that has to be raised by councils through a 2% rise in the council tax precept.

Jane Ashcroft, chief executive of Anchor Hanover, England’s largest not-for-profit provider of care and housing for older people, said: "It is exasperating to see government once again pay lip service to social care, and failing to meaningfully address the deepening crisis."

Kathryn Hill, Director of England at Carers Trust, said: “Carers Trust is extremely concerned to hear the government is proposing only a partial commitment to reform."

Genevieve Edwards, Director of External Affairs at the MS Society, said: “It’s incredibly troubling that social care for working-age disabled people has been dismissed yet again."

A No10 spokesman said the government had "set out its commitment" to reform social care to "end the fear of people having to sell their homes to pay for care". But he admitted: "I can't set out a timeline now. We will be setting it out in due course."

2. The Tories are trying to 'rig' the next election

Boris Johnson is accused of using the Queen’s Speech as a “blatant” attempt to "rig" the result of the next election after it slipped out a pledge to force voters to show ID.

Her Majesty said: "My Government will take steps to protect the integrity of democracy and the electoral system in the United Kingdom."

But the small print confirms this involves ramming ahead with a highly controversial ID scheme, despite concerns it will lock millions out of democracy.

Voters will be forced to show "an approved form of photographic ID" in order to vote - despite there being just eight allegations of fraud at a polling station last year.

For comparison, a whopping 819 people were turned away in a recent trial in eight council areas.

The Electoral Reform Society today warned it could be another "Windrush" - the scandal that saw Brits who came from the Caribbean threatened with deportation.

“These plans risk excluding huge numbers of marginalised voters – including many elderly and BAME voters – from our democratic processes and risk undermining free and fair elections," ERS director Dr Jess Garland said.

No10 launched a furious response. The Prime Minister's official spokesman claimed the absence of voter ID in Britain is a “security risk” and said voter ID has run in Northern Ireland since 2003 “without any impact on the number of people who go and vote”.

But asked if the government could point to any evidence of widespread voter fraud at the ballot box, the spokesman did not. And a No10 spokesman snapped: "I’m not sure politically we’ll be taking messages about voter suppression from a party whose main mandate at the moment is to suppress the biggest vote in the democratic history of this country."

3. Plans to end 'no-fault' evictions appear to have been shelved

The government has produced more than 120 pages of notes to the Queen's Speech. But it has no specific mention of housing, tenants or renting.

And crucially, a pledge to end "no-fault" evictions - where landlords ditch tenants at short notice without good reason - does not appear in the speech at all.

When the axe to no-fault evictions was announced under Theresa May in April, the government claimed it would be the "biggest change to the private rental sector for a generation".

Yet despite a consultation closing on Friday, there's not even lip service paid to it in the government's notes. That means there's almost zero chance of a legal change in the next year.

A No10 spokesman later insisted the plans had not been dropped altogether. He said: “We absolutely do intend to abolish no fault evictions and will bring forward the appropriate legislation in due course.”

But Polly Neate, chief executive of Shelter, said: “It’s frustrating to see the housing emergency missing from the government’s agenda in the face of the current crisis. With more than 300,000 people homeless and millions fighting for a stable home, this is not something it can ignore."

4. Action to keep kids safe online isn't here yet...

Ministers had pledged to improve internet safety for children and vulnerable people. But there's no Bill announced yet in today's Queen's Speech - which means a law would be unlikely to come forward in the next year.

Last month, ministers pledged they "will establish in law" a new duty of care making web giants responsible for their users.

Yet today, the notes say only: “My Ministers will continue to develop proposals to improve internet safety."

Andy Burrows, NSPCC Head of Child Safety Online, said: “Child abuse on the Wild West Web must stop.

"The Government’s commitment to online harms is positive, but it is crucial it treats children’s safety as a matter of urgency. Boris Johnson must stick to previous commitments and introduce an Online Harms Bill in this session."

5... Nor is action for people in a mental health crisis...

There will be a White Paper "by the end of this year" setting out the government's response to possible reforms to the Mental Health Act.

It comes after pleas for patients not to be detained "any more than is absolutely necessary" and ensure their views are respected. However there are no immediate plans for a new law in the coming Parliament - as it's not one of the 22 Bills in the Queen's Speech.

Sophie Corlett of Mind, the mental health charity, said: "The urgency of reviewing the Mental Health Act cannot be overstated.

"Increasing numbers of people being sectioned under the Act are enduring substandard treatment due to poor conditions, lack of choice, loss of dignity and even racial discrimination. This can’t go on.

“It is almost a year since the Independent Review of the Mental Health Act was published and we now need to see action."

6... Or criminal sanctions for Grenfell-style building owners

The speech documents talk of a "fundamental change" in the regulations on high-rise tower blocks to ensure "accountability and responsibility" from their owners.

Over the weekend there was talk of this leading to criminal sanctions.

But there is no mention in the Queen's Speech documents of criminal sanctions.

And the crackdown is only planned for some time in the future - it is not one of the 22 firm laws announced today in the Queen's Speech.

7. There's still no date for a reform of restaurant workers' tips

Restaurants will be forced to hand over all tips to staff - more than three years after the Tories first promised to crack down on the loophole.

But there's no date in the Queen's Speech, or its notes, for when the Employment (Allocation of Tips) Bill might come into force.

And it's not thought to be among more than half a dozen Bills which are being rushed forward to Parliament this week.

Its inclusion in the Queen's Speech suggests the law would be passed in the next year. But that's not the same as it coming into force. A No10 spokesman was unable to give a firm date.

And finally... Education funding isn't as big as the Tories claim

Downing Street tweeted today: "We’re giving a £14billion cash boost to schools across the UK."

But the notes to the Queen's Speech show that's not the whole story.

Those notes say the Tories are "investing a total of £14billion more over three years".

So even by their own account, the core schools budget will be £7.1billion higher in 2022-23 compared to this year. Still a big number, but not quite what it seemed.
