Vote Blue, Get Wet

Although much of the recent flooding happened to foreigns and other expendables, some of it happened to London, so Her Majesty's Government has reacted with unwonted promptitude.

It remains as yet unclear how much of the boasted new funding is the usual pre-allocated and re-announced; let alone whether the Chancellor will tolerate the spending being sustained beyond a month or two in the face of the perpetual necessity for tax cuts and cash for chums.
