Johnson was repeatedly criticized by opposition politicians at the height of the flooding for not visiting affected communities.With waters now having subsided, Johnson on Sunday visited Bewdley in central England to see the recovery operation.
Television footage showed one man shouting “Traitor!” at the prime minister. A Reuters photographer heard some people booing Johnson, while others asked why he had waited until now to come.“There is no water here but you can still see the effects,” local resident Paul Smith, whose home was flooded, told Sky News. “We are just glad to see him here eventually.”
Speaking to reporters during his visit, Johnson said: “It is all too easy for a prime minister to come to a place in the middle of an emergency, it is not so easy frankly for the emergency services because … they are then diverted from their work for hours and hours.” “What I have been doing since the flooding began is co-ordinating the national response but also looking at what we can do in the next months and years to ensure that this country really is ready to cope with the impacts of flooding,” he said.
The finance ministry said on Saturday said it would use Wednesday’s budget statement to set out a doubling of spending on flood defences to 5.2 billion pounds over six years.Our Morning Update and Evening Update newsletters are written by Globe editors, giving you a concise summary of the day’s most important headlines.

Trudeau is heckled all the time and it never makes your headlines. Interesting.
Another fake conservative just like Peter McKay.
Guess Boris isn't the right political color. Video I saw was him being mobbed by people. Nice people. Ever seen the Globe report about Skippy being heckled? Which happens quite regularly. Well it did before he went into the witness protection program. cdnmedia
