    no doubt the issue will be Floods.

    Labour busy email harvesting over the 10 min rule motion over the "Bedroom Tax" - which really at this point in this Parliament session, is a waste of time and will drop out when Parliament is perogued in the Spring.

    I wonder if Labour will pack their front bench with people wearing wellies to show how "in touch" they are.

    Labour could have a field day today if they go on the attack over the "unlimited funds" for floods while the north got no help.

    Plus the fact camerons office turned down funds 18months ago for flood prevention down south.

    This is Ed's big moment but something tells me he might miss the point.

    I doubt Ed will try this. It's cynical and it would be extremely bad timing to try and turn a very real issue into a political football. He would just come across as opportunist to even start to make this a North/South issue.. which it isn't. The extra funds are coming from redirected underspends in government departments. It's not as if Osborne has suddenly found more money in his budget.

    And if EM attacks Cameron, Cameron will just point out Labour stopped dredging the rivers.

    I expect EM will try to act like he is the PM in waiting and look all organised and concerned for people but he won't attack on this issue.

    Good question on police cautions. It's about time this practice was re-examined.
