She is ghoulish.

Some tremendous pageantry on display prior to the King’s Speech. Presume @ChairmanDan is glued to it if not otherwise disposed in the law courts.

The first King’s Speech since 1950 says some bespectacled chap in a nice suit on the beeb. Great to live through such momentous history

State crown just gone in to the robing room. King and Queen arrival is imminent. Speech could begin in about 20 minutes so time for you to tune in

Penny Mourdant looking delicious even in a very reserved outfit. The lord speaker is carrying a huge golden pole type thing over his shoulder

A Ukraine flag flying as the procession makes its way down Whitehall really takes you out of the moment. A foreign flag flying as the King rides by, ridiculous.

Camilla really struggled exiting the carriage with the King making an even worse fist of it, Bidenesque going down the steps of a plane.

Christ, who’s this goblin in purple boots and a purple scarf in the commentators room with the lads

Kirsty Blackman of the SNP of course. People can’t pay their electric bills, why are we having this ceremony with rubies. In short, fuck off Kirsty you hideous goblin

In prayers in the House of Commons which can’t be televised. A nice touch.

Kirsty banging on about money, a nickel and dimer talking about spending other peoples money like every commie. Another Labour chap trying to change tradition, the line about women removing hats causing him pain. Another wanker

Possibly out of kilter with the occasion but the King does not look in good shape. A short walk for him looking like a road of pain.

He’s starting the speech.

Some lady pounding on the doors with a black rod. I didn’t see that coming, unreal

Rishi Sunak looking suave in a very stylish suit walking along with Starmer, who has a cherub coloured face, the look of an alcoholic who only drinks copious amounts of hard spirits. His suit jacket doesn’t fit

Charles has horrendously swollen hands and fingers. Can only presume he has gout from a lifetime of brie and red wine at lunch.

He’ll be shipped off quick to make way for the Prince of Pegging

I hate to say it but he is a very unconvincing King. He doesn’t have it. Not a patch on his mother. This is a terribly delivered speech

Any sign of Denis Skinner?

Haven’t seen him pop up yet

Charles talking about trade agreements, self driving vehicles and machine learning as his fat, swollen fingers can barely turn the page of his speech. The ministers looking on are not impressed
