Boris Johnson Brexit deal LIVE: PM unveils bold ‘new age’ vision as MPs return to Commons

Boris Johnson has said the Government aims to create a "new age of opportunity" as MPs returned to the Commons after The Queen opened a new Parliamentary session.

Queen Elizabeth II delivered her government-written speech from a throne in the House of Lords this morning as part of a ceremony rich with centuries of British tradition.
