Prime Minister Boris Johnson has defended his speech South Shields after he appeared to stumble through his notes and made a bizarre reference to family attraction Peppa Pig World.
The PM said he thought his speech at the CBI annual conference at the Port of Tyne “went over well” despite criticisms for losing his place and talking about the children’s TV character.
The Prime Minister – who also made a passing comparison between himself and Moses – was at the event to discuss economic growth and green energy.
