My sympathies are with all of those impacted by #StormBert. I am receiving regular updates on the response to the flooding.

I urge people to check their flood risk and sign up for flood warnings.

My thanks to EA and emergency responders. We will continue to work tirelessly to protect communities.

I’m so sorry to hear that John Prescott has passed away. My thoughts are with his wife Pauline, children and all who know and love him. He will be deeply missed.

Such an informative trip to the Thames Tidal Barrier with Abena Oppong-Asare MP.

(I blame both children and politics!) 😄
