Why did Boris Johnson's CBI speech land him in a quantum of political uncertainties?

The media and opposition forces went overboard with mockery, even impertinently asking if the PM was alright, and then came the "leak" allegedly from somewhere in Downing Street that the PM's ship was less than ship-shape. Fingers immediately pointed at Noll and speculation about one of the Chancellor's advisors.

The British Prime Minister's personal performance at the CBI in the Port of Tyne received mixed reviews, the content was overcast by Boris Johnson's irrepressible spontaneity. Johnson reiterated that his "levelling up" program was a “moral mission” both idealistically and economically. The Port is to be home to the world's largest wind farm at Dogger Bank, a joint venture between SSE Renewables, Equinor and Eni. Atd 3.6GW, the wind farm will become the biggest in the world when fully operational in 2026, and would be capable of providing around 5% of the UK's electricity.

The Government anticipates that by 2030 offshore wind could generate enough electricity to power every UK home. This and the Envision next-generation Gigafactory, which is crucial to Nissan's plans for their new electric crossover/SUV, will start producing in 2024 with 116Hw lithium-ion cell batteries and will ultimately produce 38GWh annually. In the past Britain's North East has been a key player in shipbuilding, railway engineering and coal mining, now the area is set to be a key player in the Net Zero objective.
