Btw, this ‘story’ is the government trying to get cover

for their complete retreat from their plans to remove the ‘metrification’ laws we’ve kept despite Brexit.

And they’ve retreated because of the results of their consultation on it, in which 98.7% of responders wanted to keep metric measures.

Aside from the government’s cynicism, the striking thing is that the BBC have been willing to cover it the way the Tories wanted them to, to avoid their embarrassment.
