Jeremy Corbyn today tabled his own version of the Queen's Speech, calling a fairer society and an end to austerity.

And the Tories voted it down.

Tory MPs voted against reversing falling living standards, a price cap on energy bills and tax hikes for the richest.

And they voted against increasing investment in public services - and giving struggling nurses, police and firefighters a pay rise.

The alternative was tabled today as an 'amendment' to the Tory Queen's Speech - a parliamentary motion which would effectively tack it on to the end of the Government's programme.

It was voted down by 323 votes to 297.

Here's Labour's amendment to the Queen's Speech in full

At end add

but respectfully regret that the Gracious Speech fails to end austerity in public services

to reverse falling living standards and to make society more equal

further regret that it contains no reference to an energy price cap and call on the Government to legislate for such a cap at the earliest opportunity

call on the Government to commit to a properly resourced industrial strategy to increase infrastructure investment in every nation and region of the UK

recognise that no deal on Brexit is the very worst outcome and therefore call on the Government to negotiate an outcome that prioritises jobs and the economy, delivers the exact same benefits the UK has as a member of the Single Market and the Customs Union, ensures that there is no weakening of cooperation in security and policing, and maintains the existing rights of EU nationals living in the UK and UK nationals living in the EU

believe that those who are richest and large corporations, those with the broadest shoulders, should pay more tax, while more is done to clamp down on tax avoidance and evasion

call for increased funding in public services to expand childcare, scrap tuition fees at universities and colleges and restore Education Maintenance Allowance, maintenance grants and nurses’ bursaries

regret that with inflation rising, living standards are again falling

and call on the Government to end the public sector pay cap and increase the minimum wage to a real living wage of £10 per hour by 2020.'

Here's what MPs had to say about it

Tory Business Secretary Greg Clark rounded off a week of debate on the Queen's speech saying the parliament would see a "battle for ideas and values".

He slammed Labour's "determination to create in Britain a Socialist state" that he said would cause lower wages, higher prices and lower pensions.

"This is not a prosperity for the many or the few, but for no one," he said.

But Labour's Shadow Business Secretary Rebecca Long-Bailey told the Tories: "As they precariously hang on to government by their tips of their fingernails, they are quite simply standing in the way of a fairer, richer Britain."

Jeremy Corbyn said the Tories survived today 'by the skin of their teeth'

After the vote on the Queen's speech, which passed narrowly, Jeremy Corbyn said: "The Conservatives survived by the skin of their teeth today, supported by the DUP, but this is a government in chaos.

“The Conservatives are all over the place on Brexit, with ministers contradicting each other. On public sector pay, they say one thing and then do another, voting yesterday to continue the cutting the pay of our nurses, firefighters, police and other public sector workers. And today, they were forced to finally promise that women from Northern Ireland will no longer have to pay for abortions on the NHS under opposition and public pressure.

“This Government is out of control, with no mandate for continued cuts to our schools, hospitals, police and other vital public services or for a race-to-the-bottom Brexit. Labour will oppose these policies every step of the way.

“Labour offers a clear alternative, laid out in our manifesto, which would put wealth, power and opportunity back in the hands of the many not the few."
