David Cameron is expected to visit stricken communities in the north of England on Monday - but not everyone seems to be especially pleased at the prospect.
The Prime Minister is set to visit some of the thousands of people who have been affected by severe flooding over the festive period.
But it seemed that many people were less than keen on the idea of a visit from Cameron…
The PM was pictured meeting soldiers, volunteers and residents in the flood-stricken city of York on Monday.
The river Ouse has burst its banks following further heavy rainfall.
Cameron’s promise yesterday to send more troops to "do whatever is needed" to help flooding victims has not convinced people with memories long enough to recall flood defence spending was cut four years ago.
Cameron chaired a conference call on Sunday morning of the Government's emergency Cobra committee as ministers worked to tackle the problem, while the Government has vowed to review flood defences as the army was mobilised this morning to help emergency services.
But in 2011, the Coalition Government announced it would spend 8% less on flood defences - £540 million - over the next four years compared with the previous four years.

The Press Association reported that the worst-hit areas will have some respite from rain today but the crisis looks set to continue as more bad weather sweeps in.
