I must say if I lived in a flood-hit area and either Boris or Jezza knocked on my door I'd hold their head under the water. For decades both Tory and Labour governments have allowed building in massive scale on flood plains and failed to properly maintain rivers by dredging etc. I can remember back in the 70s a workmate who commuted into London from his new Barratt home in Sittingbourne, the 2nd year he lived there he was flooded out and there are similar stories from others I have known down the years in Sussex, Hampshire and Surrey. Those areas are not as badly hit as the Severn and Avon regions but the lack of attention to these problems over the years is coming home to roost now, it's a problem that won't be going away...

She remains a councillor and no by-election has been scheduled. The stuff they can get away within the 82% Labour People’s Republic of Greenwich…

and it wont just be labour at it
bound to be some tories at it as well
put any caught in jail and sell their houses until any monies have been repaid
 
Under Tories Poor Have Got Richer, Rich Have Got Poorer



Figures out from the ONS prove what Guido has been highlighting for a decade of Tory budgets. Tory Chancellors since Osborne have been redistributionist, taxes and welfare measures have bashed the rich and boosted the poor. Since the credit crisis those on the highest incomes have seen their income fall by 5% and those on lowest incomes have seen their income rise by 5%. Instead of cutting taxes for everybody, “Bash the rich” Tory policies have seen a leveling down…
