The phoney action-man image of Britain’s puffed-up Prime Minister David Cameron was blown away yesterday as the floods crisis mounted.

Labour MPs jeered in the Commons as a wriggling Mr Cameron repeatedly refused to reverse the axing of over 1,000 flooding experts from the staff of the Environment Agency.

Yet at the same time the PR-man Prime Minister had the gall to claim that “money is no object in this relief effort,” and there would be “no penny pinching.”
