"If you really think that the environment is less important than the economy, try holding your breath while you count your money" - Guy McPherson

The inept, Liz Truss supporting, free marketeer, Therese Coffey, Secretary of State for the Environment, is at it again. Trying to absolve herself from blame for the loss of life and flood damage caused by Storm Babet, she claimed her department wasn’t prepared for the murderous deluge because the storm came from the east and not the west.

 “…most of our rain tends to come in from the west….This was rain coming from the other way and we don’t have quite as much experience on that. Therefore, our accuracy of predicting where such heavy rain would fall was not to the same degree as if it had been.”

Really Ms Coffey! When I last looked the rain fell from the sky regardless of the wind direction. The sad truth is, her department is not spending anywhere near enough on flood defences  despite the whole world knowing rainfall is becoming heavier and more frequent because of global warming.

Successive Tory governments have cut public services and infrastructure funding to the bone and we are all now beginning to pay the price - some of us with our lives.

When pressed by the Commons environment committee Ms Coffey was forced to admit that her department “may not be hitting” its target of protecting 336,000 properties by 2027. So we can expect  further flooding and possible deaths in the future due to Coffey’s incompetencies. 

Coffey has given us raw sewage in our rivers and seas, she has advised people to eat turnips during the fresh vegetable and salad shortage, and for those who cannot even afford the price of the humble turnip she said:

“If you can’t afford food, work harder."  (Mail: 23/02/23)

That was rich coming from Coffey as she personally claimed over £200,000 in Parliamentary expenses between 2019 and 2020.

With people like Therese Coffey in charge of British food production and the environment is it any wonder that much of Britain’s biodiversity is in terminal decline and that food inflation was running at 19.1% in March of this year?

If unelected Sunak continues to promote people like Coffey to positions of power no one should be surprised we are now known as "Broken Britain".

We really do deserve a lot better.
