Two crossed lines that form an 'X'. It indicates a way to close an interaction, or dismiss a notification.Residents of a flood-struck town in Yorkshire have confronted Boris Johnson on the election campaign trail over his response to the floods which have devastated parts of north England.

Johnson has been criticised for not declaring a national emergency over the issue, which has caused more than 1,200 homes to be evacuated and claimed one life since last week. In the footage, residents echoed that criticism, and told Johnson: "You made a statement [saying] it's not an emergency."In different footage published by the BBC, a resident told the prime minister: "you took your time Boris."The prime minister chaired a meeting of the government's emergency committee Cobra on Tuesday.

Johnson was filmed mopping up floodwater in a branch of Specsavers in flood-hit Matlock on Friday night after making a campaign stop nearby.
