Another great tradition.

Put in a position of announcing awful policies that he is unlikely to agree one bit with (new oil/gas licencing and authoritarian measures against homeless people).

It’s all a waste of time and money, dr death can just say what they hell he wants to say (in fact he already has at the party conference) he could just get on with it instead of faffing about today wasting our taxpayer money on their self inflated egos.

His Majesty could sing a rousing version of ‘Sussex By The Sea’ walk off stage left, leave everyone totally baffled and hotfoot it back to Buck House. Now if Carlsberg did State Openings of Parliament . . . . 
He’s going to announce the creation of the independent football regulator

Very few people on the streets watching his procession. Those who were there were outnumbered by the security.

Some interest from the presenters and guests in what Sunak and Starmer will talking about on the way to the Lords.

It’s yet another pointless waste of public money all part of the historically rich cultural tapestry that makes up our Great Nation that has no real reason to even take place in this day and age instead of feeding and housing the poor, funding the NHS and stop this pointless interference and blame culture that means it’s everyone’s problem bar the government’s the nations in such mess and it’s your doing please Stop playing politics with this pointless king’s speech, Tories out, get out, just go, be gone stop hanging on for grim life just go

Growing up in Southampton, Sunak's a Saint (insert own political joke here).
He turned up at St Mary's for the game against Fulham.
They lost 0-2 and were relegated.

I think Sunak's on record as saying he's a Southampton fan. I don't think he comes under the heading of 'die-hard supporter', but I think he did actually attend a few matches in his youth. Certainly I think he's more of a football fan that Cameron who said he supported Aston Villa but appeared to know very little about them. (Probably wanted to impress Prince William).

He was at the Southampton v Fulham game at the end of last season. His motorcade barged past us as we walked to the stadium, although no-one realised who was in the blacked out Range Rovers at the time. When he was spotted by the Fulham fans he was given several rousing choruses of 'Rishi Sunak, you're a winker, you're a winker' and 'Rishi Rishi, what's the score?' as we cruised to a 2-0 victory, sending Saints down.
Call me Dave also claimed to support West Ham and no doubt has a soft spot for Burnley.
Probably Scunthorpe too (if he's heard of them)!
It’s pretty shameful in a way to force one of the most prominent environmental campaigners of the last 50 years to put on a shiny hat and read out a load of anti-green nonsense designed by a dying government to give them a short term electoral boost at the expense of the long term health of the planet
