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.
