I think you're likely right. This, of course, begs the question of why

Probably another shiny toy to go alongside Boris's daft bus that he can
point at in his dotage and say "I did that" regardless of the money wasted
on it that could have been a lot better spent elsewhere. Still, at least
these toys provide some amusement to the public unlike all the moronic
causes-of-the-week that Ken used to waste tax money on.
