Droughts across the UK risk creating a “dust bowl Britain” Labour have warned, as the party demands urgent COBRA meetings to address the problem.
As droughts have been declared in several regions of the country and extreme heat warnings issued, Labour ’s Deputy Leader Angela Rayner has called on the Prime Minister to step up and act.
Boris Johnson made a rare appearance at a meeting this week with energy bosses but has so far failed to act to help the country amid the ongoing heatwave or bring in any additional help for the cost of living crisis.
