Arguments about Cameron reducing flood defence funding are ridiculous.
This problem has been building through successive governments, Red and Blue. If Cameron had doubled the funding, it's unlikeley this flooding would be any different...
Perhaps not, but if he had doubled the funding, he could have gone and stood in the water in his wellies with his head held high, and let people know he doubled the funding(of course 1/2 of nothing isn't much) and that obviously it is not enough as the effects of climate change are more pronounced than were predicted, and he would look at providing more cash to prevent this happening again next year.
