I have to say that these floods have been ongoing for about two and half months.
However it is only now it has become a political problem for David Cameron.
It really came to the top of David Cameron's attention when Prince Charles went to visit one of the flooded areas and then called David Cameron.
However the Tories are already trying to pin the blame on the Environment Agency which is headed by the former Labour Minister Chris Smith.
However Labour party have claimed that this government reduced the budget on floods defence system.
David Cameron has been trying to claim that " dredging" is the answer. However this has been dismissed by science experts who claim this method is ineffective.
There is more rain is expected this week and it is expected to get worse so David Cameron will need to show real leadership or will start losing valuable support from regions that normally support the Tories.
