Description: The prime minister's plan for the year has been set out in the Queen's Speech - but critics are already saying it lacks substance. The legislative programme, delivered by Prince Charles after the monarch dropped out with mobility issues, focuses on growing the economy, crime, the NHS and "making the most of our Brexit freedoms", according to Boris Johnson. Other policies mentioned in the Queen's Speech include the privatisation of Channel 4, a new crackdown on so-called “guerrilla protests” or disruptive activism, an energy strategy and a plan to level the playing-field on education. The Prince of Wales said the government's priority is to "strengthen the economy and help ease the cost of living". • Subscribe to ITV News on YouTube: bit.ly/2lOHmNj • Get breaking news and more stories at itv.com/news Follow ITV News on Facebook: facebook.com/itvnews Follow ITV News on Twitter: twitter.com/itvnews Follow ITV News on Instagram: instagram.com/itvnews
