Jeremy Corbyn, who is travelling to South Wales today, said the government's response to the floods has been 'wholly inadequate'.
"We are investing £2.6bn in flood defences, which have already protected 200,000 properties that would otherwise have been caught out by flooding.
The political row came as forecasters warned the weather for flood-hit communities is going to get worse before it gets better. "We do have more warnings in force after today's rain but they're in slightly different areas of the country, southwest Scotland and parts of Yorkshire."The Met Office added that no other storms have been named, despite reports of an incoming"Storm Ellen" this weekend.
Speaking to Sky News on Wednesday, he said:"I'm a staunch supporter of Boris Johnson... now I've supported him, come on Boris, come and support me.
