The main topic beside the excahnges between Cameron and Brown was the flexiblke working proposals which were the lead story in both the Times and the Guardian this morning.
No surprises, but a focus on the business of government is the Indy's leader
In the end, Gordon Brown managed to resist the temptation to insert any surprises into yesterday's Queen's Speech. No rabbits were pulled out of the hat in an attempt to wrong-foot the opposition parties
Big ambitions but no surprises said the Guardian
It was predictable, purposeful and unglamorous and as such a truer reflection of Gordon Brown's intentions for government than the recent pre-budget report
Vision or Focus?
A Queen's Speech which puts faith in agencies, commissions and committees said the Times
It must be tiresome enough having to read out the words of others invariably cast in less than eloquent prose (while balancing a weighty crown on the head) but the pre-announcement of many of the measures outlined yesterday made the statement itself even less surprising than normal.
The Mirror comes out in support
Power for the people
Gordon Brown's new mantra is aspirations, aspirations, aspirations.
The thrust of the Prime Minister's personal blueprint is to meet the rising expectations of Britons.
GORD BAD UGLY says the Sun whilst praising some measures adding
But there were some worrying gaps, too.
Mr Brown had little to say about the 5million extra migrants likely to arrive in the next nine years.
There was no word about better roads or railways to carry them — and us — to work. Or extra schools for their children.
Grand plans to kill off hospital superbugs already seem to have stalled. And there is no sign of a real shake-up for the welfare state.
Most important of all, there was no mention of the referendum Mr Brown promised us on the revamped EU Constitution.
