Boris Johnson lost his place for 20 seconds during his CBI speech – only 5 responses you need
Boris Johnson isn’t exactly known for his hugely enlightening or forensically detailed speeches.
Indeed, going off on a tangent appears to be the prime minister’s preferred method of (non) communication.
But even for Johnson, his speech to the CBI today was a proper car crash. And if you were looking for a 20-second summary of his so-called premiership to date, you won’t do much better than this.
“Forgive me… forgive me… forgive me”

And that’s not to mention the car impressions, his visit to Peppa Pig World and all the other stuff.
Boris Johnson is making a speech to the CBI:
so far he has impersonated an accelerating car, praised Peppa Pig World, compared his 10-point green plan to a “new Decalogue…from Mount Sinai”, and lost his thread for what felt like a minute but was probably only 10 seconds

It was so bad, in fact, that the good people of ITV News felt compelled to ask if everything was alright.
‘You lost your notes, you lost your place, you went off on a tangent about Peppa Pig – frankly, is everything okay?’

Almost unbelievable that a Prime Minister can struggle so badly to deliver a pre-scripted speech to a friendly audience.

I've only just seen this. I wouldn't accept this from
an eleven year old reading in an assembly. Does he have no pride? https://t.co/FFODKN5zdf— Brian Moore (@brianmoore666) November 22, 2021
To conclude.
"So how did you distract them from the health care bill?"

I’ve written a little song to accompany this.
