a slogan, not a policy
"[Boris Johnson is] a publicity phenomenon, which is how he got the 80-seat majority. He’s squandering that. He looks dodgy. It’s like having a drift in the ceiling and you think, oh, I can live with that for a bit. And the whole fucking ceiling comes down and you think, I wish I’d dealt with that. Voters don’t seem to care, then suddenly, it all catches up with you. The troubles with the economy are going to mount up. Levelling up is a slogan and not a policy. Global Britain is a slogan and not a policy. He just looks shallow."https://borisjohnson.themaninquotes.com/he-just-looks-shallow/
That was Johnson, but May was equally vacuous ("Brexit means Brexit") and neither of the two candidates that will be appointed to us as our new Prime Minister seem to move away from the focus on the veneer. The UK has become a Rover 800 Series, impressive at the time but now rusting on the inside yet covered in some shiny "world beating" wrap that hides the lack of maintenance long enough to sell it on to the next electorate.
