I also write about how little the floods have been covered in national newspapers, and how appalled I am that the Prime Minister has said nothing to the people of Monmouthshire directly. Please read and share. www.thenerve.news/p/storm-clau...
Storm Claudia puts Wales under water – why did these record-breaking floods barely make the news?

Last Friday night and Saturday morning, Monmouthshire was hit by devastating floods. Monmouth’s high street, a place that I’ve barely known wet before, became a high roaring river (see the pictures of how it lies normally, as it did on Thursday, with the flooded Waitrose high above).
