The Times also leads on the Queen’s Speech – splashing on proposed laws to protect free speech at universities.

The Times, like most of the papers, leads with Boris Johnson’s confirmation of a major easing of coronavirus restrictions next Monday.It says hugs will be allowed for the first time in more than a year, pubs and restaurants can serve inside, cinemas and theatres can reopen, and five people will be able to visit care home residents.However, it adds that the PM has urged people not to “throw caution to the wind”.

The planning system faces its biggest overhaul in 70 years, The Times says, as the prime minister announces plans to relax rules on building new homes.

The Times says the Conservatives’ series of historic victories means Boris Johnson is eyeing up a decade in power – with the PM vowing to embark on a “massive project” of levelling up the country. Some cabinet ministers have suggested that Mr Johnson could outlast Margaret Thatcher, who was in Downing Street for 11 years.
