Deputy prime minister says Peppa Pig speech to CBI was example of prime minister being ‘ebullient’
Dominic Raab, the deputy prime minister, has defended Boris Johnson against accusations that he is losing his grip, saying he has a “great team” around him.
The justice secretary, who is second in command of the government, said Johnson’s faltering speech to the CBI on Monday that involved him losing his place and making a long tangent on Peppa Pig was an example of him being “ebullient”.
