I’m wearing my Peppa jim-jams and nobody can stop me!
FEARS FOR PM AS HE’S CAUGHT WEARING NOVELTY PYJAMAS IN NUMBER 10
FEARS are growing for the PM after he emerged at a Downing Street drinks reception wearing PEPPA PIG pyjamas.
Senior figures had gathered at Number 10 for an “informal chat” with Boris Johnson, who is facing accusations his shambolic style is damaging the Government.
But Mr Johnson failed to put many minds at rest when he turned up in the bizarre attire which he is thought to have picked up at his now- notorious visit to Peppa Pig World in Hampshire.
An insider said: “It may have been the PM’s idea of a joke but with all minds concerned that he’s losing his grip, it was a joke that fell flat.
“His missus Carrie went up to him and whispered something and Boris said loudly, ‘ I’m the Prime Minister! I’ll wear my Peppa jim- jams if I want to. I can do what I like!’
Strain
“Frankly it was embarrassing and has led to more questions about how the PM is bearing up under the strain of office.”
Senior Conservatives, including Chancellor Rishi Sunak, are said to be concerned at the PM’s bizarre antics and fear his style, which had previously won over many, is now becoming an electoral liability.
At Prime Minister’s Questions last week, Sir Keir Starmer taunted Boris by asking: “Is everything OK, Prime Minister?” after his troubled week of gaffes and U- turns.
That echoed a question from a TV reporter who asked Johnson if anything was amiss after a shambolic speech to the CBI during which Boris
mimicked a car, lost his place, muttered “forgive me, forgive me, forgive me” and dribbled on about Peppa Pig World.
The PM talked about his family’s visit to Paultons Park in Hampshire during a speech to the Confederation of Business Industry on Monday, which was notable for a number of surreal moments.
At one point he told the audience of high- powered business leaders: “Yesterday I went, as we all must, to Peppa Pig World,” asking them, “Hands up who’s been to Peppa Pig World…”
When few hands were raised, he continued: “Not enough. It’s fantastic. I loved it. Peppa Pig World is very much my kind of place.
“It has very safe streets, discipline in schools, heavy emphasis on mass transit systems, I notice, even if they are a bit stereotypical about
Daddy Pig.”
