Andrew Neil reviews the week of the Queen's Speech with Alan Johnson and Michael Portillo.
They are joined by Steve Hilton, a former advisor to David Cameron, who claims the government needs to go much further - he wants a mayor in every town, not just in cities. There is also a round-up of the week as new, and not-so-new MPs, assembled in Westminster, before former first minister of Scotland Alex Salmond and UKIP's Suzanne Evans join in to review the week.
Plus Countdown lexicographer Susie Dent helps the panel look at political language.
