A message from Prezza
Former deputy Prime Minister John Prescott tweets: "And why isn't a minister down in Cornwall for the floods? I went straight to Boscastle, Too busy briefing non-stories." The answer, I can reveal, is because the minister is taking part in today's "how to cope with floods" training exercise. As with Prezza's visit to Boscastle, a phrase involving bolted horses and stable doors springs to mind...
STOP PRESS: Just heard that Defra Secretary Caroline Spelman has cut short her participation in the flood training exercise in Surrey and is now on her way to Mevagissey.
