UK makes last minute bid for EU flood funds

https://www.ft.com/content/8e82e01c-dbb6-11e5-a72f-1e7744c66818?segmentid=acee4131-99c2-09d3-a635-873e61754ec6&fbclid=IwAR0fGfrFTYME_Ej_j3PoqLWSRHPIoA8se-oaV1KaLzmDF56ORPS48Xwx32A

So typical of the hypocrisy of Conservatives in power.

The British government will make a last-minute bid to claim EU financial compensation for December’s devastating flooding, after weeks of confusion and delay.

The UK could be entitled to hundreds of millions of pounds to help tackle the damage from this winter’s extreme weather

Shouldn’t they be happy to show up those EU suckers?

“Who needs you guys, we’re masters of our own destiny”. No?

I’m starting to suspect the brexiteers might have lied.
