BORIS JOHNSON has been slammed for a catastrophic speech to business leaders, rambling on about Peppa Pig rather than addressing broken promises on northern rail or the Tory sleaze scandal. 

The Prime Minister defended his speech at the CBI conference on Tyneside today, having enthused about a visit to Peppa Pig World and pretended to be a car. 

Mr Johnson told ITV: “I think that people got the vast majority of the points that I wanted to make and I thought it went over well.”
