Making a pig’s ear of being PM

HOW can Tory MPs continue to back this shameful Prime Minister? If it wasn’t enough to embarrass the country with his UN speech referencing Kermit the Frog, which was totally alien to most people in the audience, he has now used his address to business leaders to expound the virtues of Peppa Pig World, to their obvious incredulity.

Combined with the unrest on the back benches, and discontent in those Red Wall seats over social care plans that will disadvantage those with smaller assets, it will be Conservative MPs who’ll suffer for the many inadequacies of the PM.

Surely, we should call time on this buffoon of a PM who continues to cause us embarrassment.

We have sleazy Tory MPs saying, “Do as I say, not as I do”, a U-turn on the northern rail upgrade, and a new social care system which will punish the poorest. We’ve witnessed thousands of unnecessary Covid deaths and billions squandered on dodgy contracts, while the NHS crumbles and Brexit is a mess. And then there’s those fleeing danger by crossing the Channel only to be treated like criminals when they get here. Peppa Pig must be cringing – welcome to Boris’s Blunderland.

Having watched Boris Johnson’s speech to the CBI, I have to ask, is he finally cracking up? What a shambles. He lost his way, shuffled his papers and seemed at a loss for a considerable period. He joked about his visit to

Peppa Pig World and took a handsup survey of those present to find out who had been there.

He is our PM but he looked and acted like a man who had turned up with the wrong speech. He was followed by Keir Starmer who looked and acted like a PM should. Terry Marriott Waterlooville, Hants

There we have it. The man we voted to “Get Brexit Done”, to level up the country, deal with the migrant crisis and to make Britain great again, seems to have lost the plot and forgotten his audience.

The right time to talk about the genius of Peppa Pig World would be when he was visiting schools, not giving a speech to the CBI. Or am I missing something?

Does he intend to address the migrant crisis by saying every new home or business will have electric charging points?

Mr Johnson’s poor description of his recent visit to Peppa Pig World shows his limited understanding of one of the titans of children’s television. I am pretty sure my niece, Erica, is a far greater authority on Peppa. Come to think of it, she would make a far better prime minister as well!

Boris Johnson is very quickly running out of bridges. The Garden Bridge never came to fruition, the stupid idea of a bridge across the Irish Sea is no more (Mirror, November 22). Hopefully he has burnt his last bridge with his HS2 betrayal to the North of England. Why was this idiot ever allowed to run a country?

Does anyone remember the fictional character Billy Bunter, the podgy schoolboy, who from what I can recall, never really got anything right? Does that remind you of anyone?
