A thread about what the Government are doing following Storm Dennis

No sign of Boris, of course, but Jeremy is in Pontypridd yesterday

That helped how exactly?

Boris Johnson has shown his true colours by not offering support to flood hit communities or even visiting them.

Jeremy spoke to residents heard their stories and listened to their concerns. Highlighted floods will happen again more needs to be done now to tackle the climate emergency

Who are ”the obvious/ not obvious minorities” that aprilrose ‘s council are wasting money on? The disabled? Children in care? Mentally ill? Those with learning disabilities? Not all that obvious to some.

aprilrose A man on the news said that he had supported Boris and would like Boris to come and see what has happened in order to return the support. He would have gained some emotional support at a very difficult time.
Being a Prime Minister should surely mean giving emotional as well as practical support.

I would also like to know the answer to vegansrock's question to you regarding "the obvious"

The obvious, you know, nudge, nudge, those people, others, them, not us, yes we all know april

Boris Johnson doesn’t come across as a chap who sees the need for giving emotional support. For example, do you remember how he dismissed complaints from female MPs who were facing daily threats and abuse?
Now is his chance to shine as the PM invested with with the people’s confidence to get things done. I hope he takes it.

aprilrose several of us are asking for edification (clarity).

Well re Jeremy, getting out there and meeting the flood victims, they seemed pleased to know they hadn’t been completely forgotten. But surely you could have worked that out for yourself ???

aprilrose Corbyn is still an MP and (theoretically) in a position to do something, although with the present majority there's not much chance of him being successful.

No need for Johnson to play nice now he's got a huge majority...

Test. I have posted three messages and all have disappeared.

I am not going tooffer any further answers on this, clearly I am not welcome.... will this get through?

Perhaps you forgot to press the send message?

I can see two posts, aprilrose then your third one asking where the others are

He's got his huge majority now, he doesn't 'need ' to do anything. ...
What a shame that people were so easily taken in by this charloten

There’s no posts from aprilrose which have been deleted. So maybe she just doesn’t want to clarify her thinly veiled unpleasantness.

Councils have statutory Duties to spend on ‘minorities’ such as the disabled & children (& many councils are getting to the stage where they can’t afford to meet those Duties).

So which ‘minorities’ are we talking about & is the council ignoring Duties for flood risks?
