Despite No 10 bigging up Boris's levelling up speech yesterday, and despite Boris discussing beheading poppies and spreading jam, the media didn't bite and the speech failed to hit the headlines.
The reasons?
1 The speech was flowery, but contained little to no substance.
2 It coincided with the salt tax report, which Boris publicaly disowned.
3 A cynic might think the bigging up of the speech was to cover up for the fact that Thursday might have been the day for a Downing Street reception for England.
Anyhoo, I dare say a few people will be demoted/fired for this damp squib and at some stage later some substantive policies might be announced.
