Queen's Speech: Can confidence be restored in the prime minister?

Nick Robinson looks ahead to the Queen's Speech

Ahead of the Queen's Speech some members of the Conservative Party have shown a lack of confidence in the prime minister.

It's set to be a speech like none we've seen in recent times.

The government has no majority and has yet to finalise a deal with Northern Ireland's DUP to secure one - that is the politics which underlies today's ceremony.

Nick Robinson meets with Conservative Party members Nigel Evans, Conservative MP for the Ribble Valley, Lord Michael Howard, Lord Blencathra, Tom Tugendhat and Nicky Morgan, former education secretary to look ahead to the speech.
