Boris Johnson today celebrated Peppa Pig World. In a strange speech to business leaders, he made engine noises and compared himself with Moses.
The PM addressed the CBI in a bizarre address. He praised his family’s trip to the theme park – despite complaining about the TV’s character looking like a ‘hairdryer’ and Daddy Pig being a little stereotypical.
Johnson once extolled Tesla cars’ virtues, stating that Tesla cars were quicker than Ferraris at acceleration from traffic lights. He also made an attempt to mimic a traditional petrol engine and issued a number of guttural sounds that were intended to confuse delegates in Newcastle.
In keeping with the environment scheme, the premier stated that it was as unacceptable to build a new coal station in the future as to smoke a pipe on an aircraft.

He also invoked the Moses analogy by saying he was descendant from Mount Sinai to give civil servants his 10-point plan to achieve Net Zero by 2050.
Johnson, who was lost in his long speech and lost his way through the pages of his talk while Johnson watched in an awkward silence as his audience stared in awe, seemed to be in a state of confusion.
Johnson stated that his “levelling up” agenda was both a moral mission and a necessity for the economy.
He stated that achieving his goal would allow the UK to become an even bigger economy than Germany.
He said, “It’s a moral responsibility and I’ve noticed that as you get older you’re more idealistic than cynical,” he stated to the South Shields CBI conference.
It’s both a moral imperative and an economic necessity. Because if this country could achieve the same kind of geographical balance and dispersion of growth and wealth that you find in most of our most successful economic comparators, and if all our businesses could reach more balance in their levels of productivity, then there would be absolutely no stopping us and we would achieve – what I believe we can – and become the biggest and most successful economy in Europe.’
He admitted that there were “chronic problems” underlying the UK’s economy. These included the inequalities between the firms that were considered ‘go-getting the world-beaters’, and those which had a ‘long tail’ of companies lacking the skills or investment needed to increase productivity.
Johnson was the one who proposed to increase the number of charging stations for electric vehicles. He said that the green industrial revolution gave us a chance to transform the economy.
