Alan Johnson, a Hull MP and the health secretary, is to visit his constituency after its council said it had become the “forgotten city” of the flooding.
Mr Johnson will visit a flooded estate. An estimated 35,000 people have been affected by flooding in Hull.
Ms Blears is visiting Sheffield on Thursday and Hull on Friday to witness the aftermath of the devastation caused by the water.
It appears that now they’ve finished reshuffling they’ve finally noticed that large parts of the country (outside of London) are under water. Perhaps when they drop by they could answer a few questions like, where were they last week? How come neither of our prime ministers thought this was worthy of comment or a visit? Where are the green goddesses that could be used to help with flooding?
I’d quite like to ask the BBC as well what it takes to get this sort of news on the front page? Hail in London is important it would seem, but ppl dying, losing their houses, businesses, the M1 being shut for nearly a week, Meadowhall (one of the largest shopping centres in the country) being shut for days, none of that seems to matter at all.
Good for Prince Charles who seems to have done all he could to raise the profile, shame on the rest of them.
