Voice of the Mirror: Finally Boris takes action over horrendous floods in North

Finally Boris Johnson has caved in to pressure and called a Cobra meeting to tackle the terrible floods.

Not before time. If they had been in the affluent South rather than the working ­class North and Midlands he would have moved far faster, instead of just posing with a mop.

Jeremy Corbyn’s criticism stings because it exposes the soft underbelly of a Tory leader who only cares for himself, a small coterie of sycophants and, if he remembers, the ­Conservative Party.

Johnson’s response is a national scandal. Declaring an emergency, gathering together the top people in Whitehall and launching a co-ordinated rescue of homes, businesses and communities should be automatic.

That Johnson has let down people in dire need is a damning indictment of his approach and a Tory regime still failing after nine years in office and losing all sense of what is decent.

Puppets of U.S

Poisonous puppeteer Donald Trump is pulling the strings of Nigel Farage and Boris Johnson to deliver our NHS and food industry into greedy US hands.

The Brexit Party is just another Conservative Party when Farage, to help Johnson, isn’t standing candidates against Tories, yet putting others up to defeat Labour MPs.

In this election there are Johnson’s Tory Brexit Party and Farage’s Brexit Tory Party.

If this unprincipled pair con the public, the biggest winner will be Donald Trump with dollar signs in his eyes.

He wanted Johnson and Farage to do a deal so they did. This election is now a battle to demonstrate that our NHS is not for sale.

Liv’s tax rules

The Crown actress Olivia Colman would make a good real Queen as she would make big firms pay their taxes.

Just don’t mention the past dodgy deals which gave the actual wealthy monarchy such a vast fortune.
