The cabinet reshuffle that itself was timed to cover up the introduction of the reduction in universal credit?
“Quick; we need to cover up the cover-up.”
“What have we got?”
“…”
“Come on! Quickly. Anything?”
“Well, there is the pounds and ounces thing… but that was a joke because nobody knows that shit anymore.”
“Great! Go with it.”EDIT: Though having thought about it a bit more, I reckon it's to try to boost Johnson's own ratings that saw him only just above Raab in the promotion/relegation table.

Edit - also OIML Treaty...
