Boris Johnson has unveiled the "most radical Queen's Speech in a generation" with measures to toughen up criminal justice, invest in the NHS and deliver on the "people's priorities".
The Prime Minister trumped Bills which will ensure the most serious violent offenders - including terrorists - serve longer prison terms after the London Bridge attack.
A Royal Commission will be established to improve the "efficiency and effectiveness" of the criminal justice process, and the Government will enshrine in law a commitment on NHS funding.
Addressing MPs after the speech, Mr Johnson vowed that his Government would work "flat out" to deliver "a new golden age" for the UK, as he insisted his vision is for the long term.
"This is not a programme for one year or one parliament - it is a blueprint for the future of Britain," he said.
But TUC general secretary Frances O’Grady sounded a note of caution - saying "working people will want to check the small print before trusting this government’s promises."
So what are the details in the small print? We've had a look at 7 points you should know.
1. He's accused of rowing back on his £10.50 minimum wage
Boris Johnson was been accused of rowing back on his promise to implement a £10.50 minimum wage by 2024 for everyone over the age of 21.
It was the flagship policy announcement at the Tory conference, where Chancellor Sajid Javid proclaimed it would show the Tories are "the workers' party" and help 4million workers.
It is to be achieved by pegging the wage to two-thirds of median earnings, not 60% as it is now.
But the small print of the Queen's Speech shows there is a sneaky get-out clause.
It says the change to two-thirds of median earnings will only happen "provided economic conditions allow." That is likely to prompt speculation that if there is an economic downturn, the rise won't happen.
Chi Onwurah, shadow business minister, told HuffPost UK: “In the very first moments of his new government Boris Johnson is already breaking promises he made during the election."
2. A shake-up of the entire constitution
The Queen's Speech plans a massive overhaul of Britain's constitution just a week after winning power.
The Prime Minister announced that he would set up a new commission which could radically alter how Britain works.
He will use the excuse of restoring trust in politics - even though he was widely considering to have undermined it during his time at No 10 so far.
In the small print, the Commission promises to "examine the broader aspects of the constitution in depth and develop proposals to restore trust in our institutions and in how our democracy operates".
But the changes could prompt immediate fears that the Tory government was attempting to bolster its own power.
The new unit could redraw constituency boundaries to reduce the number of MPs from 650 to 600, a move which could favour the Conservatives.
He could also repeal the Fixed Term Parliaments Act meaning he could call an election when he wants to.
There could be a move to repeal the Human Rights Act, replacing it with a bill of rights that could potentially lower protections. And in the wake of Mr Johnson's Supreme Court loss, Britain's most senior judges could be made more accountable to Parliament - which could undermine the independence of the judiciary.
Best for Britain chief executive Naomi Smith said: "Johnson's proposed constitution, democracy and rights commission should set alarm bells ringing for anyone who believes that Parliament must be able to act as a brake on a runaway government.
"We must be hyper-vigilant to any chipping away of the checks-and-balances that keep our democracy functioning."
No10 later flatly denied Supreme Court judges could become political appointees.
3. Britain could get new laws on treason
The small print of a law on espionage says the government will look at "the case for updating treason laws".
There is no further detail but it raises the spectre of new offences being allowed under laws that date back to Medieval times.
MPs including Tory Tom Tugendhat and Labour's Khalid Mahmood have previously argued there is a case for updating the 1351 Treason Act.
It's true that it's out of date. The last person to be tried for treason in the UK was in 1945. But the Law Commission previously said treason law had "ceased to be of contemporary relevance". And reviving it may prompt fears of a law that was killed off long ago coming back into being.
4. Workers' rights pledges just aren't clear yet
There's a new Employment Bill which the Tories say will safeguard workers' rights after Brexit .
But the thing is, there isn't enough detail on it yet to be clear about what those safeguards will be.
The original Brexit Bill in October had promised that each time ministers make a new law in future, they would have to commit that "in their view" it doesn't "regress" from EU workers' rights.
If they could not do so, they would have had to make a statement saying the new law might regress from EU workers' rights.
That's now been dropped from the Brexit Bill. But it doesn't yet, according to the Queen's Speech notes, appear in the new Employment Bill.
Instead, the Queen's Speech makes a more general statement that the new Bill will "protect and enhance workers' rights as the UK leaves the EU, making Britain the best place in the world to work."
Tim Roache, GMB General Secretary, said: “The Prime Minister claims he will protect and enhance workers’ rights but his record on keeping his promises leaves a lot to be desired. We’ll be holding him to account."
5. People will be forced to show ID to vote
The Queen's Speech confirms measures will be implemented to force voters to show photo ID before being allowed to vote.
Hundreds of people were denied their right to vote in last year’s local elections after ministers forced through a pilot scheme, despite warnings it could disenfranchise older voters and people from minority groups.
The trial, which was held in eight council areas, resulted in 819 people being turned away.
That was despite official figures showing there were just eight allegations of people lying about who they are at a polling station - known as "personation" - in 2018.
That was down from 28 in 2017, 45 in 2016, 26 in 2015 and 21 in 2014, the Electoral Commission figures show.
The Queen's Speech says people without an "approved form of photographic ID" will be able to request an identity document.
But campaigners say the move will hit low-income and vulnerable voters less likely to have the right paperwork.
There are other measures too that critics say could benefit the Tories - letting ex-pats vote for life (rather than the current limit of 15 years) and shaking up constituency boundaries.
6. There's still no solution for social care
The Queen's Speech promises to begin urgent work on a cross-party solution to social care. But despite Boris Johnson saying he had a plan ready to go, there is no detail - apart from a commitment that no one will have to sell their home.
Dan Scorer of the learning disability charity Mencap said: "Cross party consensus is a good idea, but they need to get on with it. The extra £1 billion sounds a lot, but is nowhere near enough
Dr Jennifer Dixon chief executive of the Health Foundation said: "With growing numbers of people unable to access the care they need, there is no time to waste. Fundamental reform of social care should be the immediate priority - the government must now grasp the nettle."
Jeremy Hughes, Chief Executive at Alzheimer’s Society, said “The state of dementia care is in crisis. The Prime Minister committed to end the injustice when he met Barbara Windsor. Where’s the action?"
Jonathan Blades of the MS Society said: “It’s been years since we were first promised a plan on how to fix our failing social care system, and we’re still in the dark."
7. We'll have to wait a little longer - again - for action on mental health
The Queen's Speech promises a White Paper on mental health reforms "early next year".
That's later than the previous Queen's Speech two months ago, which had promised the document by the end of 2019.
Clearly the delay is due to the general election , which prevented the government putting out formal consultation documents and the like. That is understandable.
But it comes after a long delay already, and is a stark reminder of how the UK's political maelstrom is putting off help for people who really need it.
Megan Pennell, Parliamentary and Campaigns Manager at Mind, said: “Despite some welcome assurances in today’s Queen’s Speech, this government must now urgently act to transform the experiences of those of us with mental health problems.
“Thousands of people’s lives have been on pause as a result of underfunded services over the past decade.
Even former PM Theresa May warned: "I would have preferred a more full-blooded commitment to a new Mental Health Act."
