HM The Queen has delivered the Queen's Speech at the State Opening of the new Parliamentary Session.The text of the speech is HERE and Background Briefing Notes issued by the government.BBC News 11 May 2021 The Guardian 11 May 2021 

The Scottish Parliamentary election was held on 6 May. The Parliament comprises 73 constituency seats and 56 regional list seats – (previous post 29 March). The Scottish National Party (SNP) won 64 of those seats and is therefore just one seat short of an overall majority. The Conservative Party won 31 seats, Labour 22, Greens 8 and Liberal Democrats 4.  The new Alba Party under the leadership of former First Minister Alex Salmond failed to secure a seat.One way of reading the result is that there is at least a majority of Members of the Scottish Parliament who favour holding a further referendum on Scottish independence, The SNP and the Green Party campaigned on pro-independence manifestos - SNP manifesto - Green manifesto. Therefore, the  likelihood is that political pressure will now increase for a further independence referendum. It is a pressure which may prove difficult for the UK government to resist.
