Honestly didn't realise she was still environment secretary. No wonder it's all gone wrong.
For sure !
In all her time in office..she did nothing. She watched industries pour chemicals and waste into our waterways and rivers..Nothing was done. Coffee's tenure as Environmental Secretary was lazy, careless and hapless. I am glad she resigned. It seems she has removed herself because she has been told she is useless.
I live in the Netherlands where much of the country is below sea level - we last had flooding in 1952 and not one case in 70 years since - it is not so difficult.
its not a matter of difficulty but of political cowardice to address the problems caused by climate change. there have been plenty of warnings from experts that our emergency plans and disaster prevention infrastructure is unprepared to meet the evolving threat. i hope our government looks to places like the Netherlands to see how successful such defences can be when they are properly funded and prioritised by politicians.
we are an island nation with no part more than 100miles from the ocean, it doesn't take a genius to see why rising sea levels will be a problem.
Mate we can’t even build schools
climate change doesn't come into it, the country is a swamp
In the Netherlands no place is more than 100 miles from the sea and we have huge rivers like the Rhine and the Meuse /Mass passing through our water management began long before global warming but was used to reclaim huge areas from the sea@@Simon-hb9rf
@user-fg3bn6nj8v and everyone says the uk is doing fine lmao we are such sheep man, Long live the French. If this was France the environment secretary would be in hiding.
She absolutely doesn’t care at all about the environment or people’s lives.
Anyone remember when George Osborne cut the £4bn funding put aside for building flood defenses?
not if they watched sky news they wont, im sure sky was too busy shouting about immigration to cover it
The Environment Secretary barely had the grace to look at this poor woman when she was trying to speak to her.
A definite media exercise - and absolutely nothing else. Utterly pointless!
Do they really think she is going to do something about it?
they could better use her as a water barrier
Coffey will see this situation as an opportunity to dump sewage. Brendan will now show his electorate what a catastrophic mistake they made taking a punt on him.
They do not care. Get it into your heads.
Need a People Protection Agency as soon as possible.
Just don’t get a Tory to run it.
When a Tory visits a disaster area, their 1st thought is 'How can we make money from this?'.
Absolutely correct. Just like they have over COVID
And I want to put in expenses for my wet socks! £70. Bloody constituents..they made me wade through floodwater. This is Labours fault...even though the Tories have been in power since 19canteen. :)
But she will send money abroad but not in the uk ?
General Election now !!
In other words ticking boxes again mere seen to be doing.
Coffey is as much use as a chocolate fireguard and as welcome as chicken at a vegan wedding!!
She is just another Shapps, Barclay, Jenrick ...The list goes on . They wheel them out , the nerve of her appearing like that for air time astounds me
Coffey getting exactly what she deserves.........Tory tosh as usual.
Coffey has a face that looks like it launched a thousand ships and the compassion of a typical tory politician.
She is waste of fresh air
She doesn’t give a monkeys, complete waste of time
She doesn't give a toss ,,,
😂😂😂😂😂😂 she nah care and who and why wouldntou expect them too
Even a fool has a purpose. Coffey has proved herself inept, and redundant to any position she's been given.
She's sacked! Not that it means anything for people over the UK flooding.
Having the time of her life
Did the storm blow away her eyebrows 🤔
Sunak announced an extra £20 million for Gaza, A country which does not pay tax in the UK, Where is the help for the citizens?
Was the flood barrier in place and installed correctly. I can see automatic Airbrick covers too. Probably 5,000 GBP of property level protection. Hopefully the inside is flood resilient too. What went wrong here ?
I was wondering the same. Something wasn't designed right.
If the minister was genuine why did she not go up without letting the media know typical useless minister.
Where's the nearest chippy?
Oil floats on water
She hasn't got a clue and couldn't care less. Typical Tory. But what a brave lady, good luck to her!
Did they manage to get any of her biscuit crumbs?
Blame the Russians
Blame the Chinese
Blame the Disabled
Just don't Blame it on the Tories
#MHLivingHistory
BLAME THE WORLD ECONOMIC FORUM!!!
why has it took her so long were she been hiding since the floods in bozo freezer with him
According to some , who peep say are nutters , this is in store for all of us ,coming soon ??!
strong 'The Thick Of It' vibes
Well everyone remember next time not to vote tory
I think your so screwed,sorry !😢
She went there and thought oh well ur poor...im going back to my big house who cares
How rude - they have offered her a pie and a jug of beer 🍺
Don’t give a crook about anything
Just looking for contracts she can push towards donors.
Hate politicians just using situations for media coverage but one thing I’m confused by. The lady said she needed help getting her 17 yr old daughter out of the house? Unless she has some physical troubles can’t she just walk out ? Don’t blame the fire brigade. Her neighbour could have helped while the emergency services helped people in real need.
how is she supposed to just walk out of a flooded house?
@@Amanda-vx1ut the same as everyone else. The water wasn’t over 2 feet. It’s not the titanic.
@@hawsrulebegin7768shut up
The PEACEFUL STORM IS COMING WONDER WHAT THEY WILL NAME THAT STORM 😂 MY GUESS MUHAMMAD 😂
Oh shock, gob off in front of the camera, 5 minutes of fame, who cares. Did Sky bother to give us an intelligent analysis? No chance
no one cares about your opinion either, dear
A scabby woman with beetroot coloured hair.
At least she's human unlike TC
Maybe if the environment agency did was they was meant to do a few years ago which was to build up the flood banks. That fell through. Rats and rabbits have burrowed into the banks, also the river idle towards misson and bawtry hasn't been dredged.
