Floods: PM should visit people impacted by annual carnage
EMBARGO: Immediate release
The Liberal Democrats have called on Rishi Sunak to visit areas impacted by flooding to see for himself the devastation.
The party highlights a recent NAO report which found 136,000 homes will no longer have flood protection plans due to government cuts.
Liberal Democrat spokesperson for Housing and Communities Helen Morgan MP said:
"The Prime Minister should see for himself the devastation caused by these floods. People's homes and businesses have been ruined yet again. If Rishi Sunak actually met with people impacted by this annual carnage, then he might do something about it.
"Under this government flood protection plans for homes have been disgracefully slashed. This must be reversed immediately. This has to be the last year areas like mine in Shropshire are left to fend for themselves against floods."
