Tory Wets

The effects of the Bullingdon Club's vandalism of the country's flood defences have been reviewed in an official report, and the gormless Andrea Leadsom has been duly reminded that climate change exists and that placing large parts of the landscape under water, other than the bits designed for that purpose, can occasionally interfere with the smooth running of the country. Twelve and a half million pounds have been allocated for temporary defences to try and shore up whatever remains after the Bullingdons halved local authorities' flood funding last year. Ben Gummer, the Minister for Being the Son of a Former Minister, said that he expected telecom companies and moisture distribution profiteers to work towards ever closer union in pursuit of socially responsible goals, but does not appear to have made clear what incentives are being provided for this unbusinesslike crypto-Europeanism. The gormless Andrea Leadsom, or the spad who writes her press releases, has at least realised that flooding happened last year and that the review makes some recommendations.
