 🌧️🧯As Britain sinks beneath Storm Chandra’s soggy tantrum, Labour is being scapegoated faster than a sandbag at a Tory press briefing. Roads closed, power out, schools shut—so naturally, someone’s got to eat the lightning bolt.

☔ Rain, Rage, and the Red Scapegoat Shuffle

Storm Chandra has done what British infrastructure fears most: arrive. And arrive angry. 🌀 Towns are flooded, homes are powerless, and council leaders are now pointing fingers so hard they’ve got repetitive strain injuries.

Who’s to blame? Not the decades of drainage neglect. Not the chronic underfunding of flood defences. Not the privatised utilities that bill you for rain but vanish when it falls. Nope. It’s Labour—currently in government, which apparently means they control the weather, the rivers, and the mystical forces of the Jet Stream.

Councils, many of which have been slashing budgets under successive Conservative regimes, are now screaming for central funding like it’s the final round of The Hunger Games: Floodplain Edition. 🏞️💀

But wait—weren’t these the same councils told for years to just “build resilience” while flood defences were budgeted like decorative bunting? Now the same central government that couldn’t be bothered to fund sandbags is handing out blame like free ponchos at a disaster fair.

And here’s the kicker: Labour didn’t invent Storm Chandra. They didn’t cut Environment Agency budgets. They didn’t sell off Britain’s water utilities to companies more interested in dividend streams than drainage systems.

But when the Thames rises and the press needs a villain, nuance gets washed away with the bus shelters.

So here we are: ankle-deep in hypocrisy, neck-deep in spin. 🌊🌀
