How are flood victims coping six months on?

A report by MPs on the Environmental Audit Committee (EAC) has said the government is failing to do enough to protect communities at risk of flooding.
The EAC report follows the storms that hit the UK between December 2015 and January 2016, causing flooding in the north of England and Wales, as well as parts of Scotland and Northern Ireland.
Victoria Derbyshire presenter Joanna Gosling spoke to Mary Creagh MP, the Chair of the EAC, homeowner Tom Armstrong, whose home was badly damaged by flood waters and still hasn't been repaired and Phil King from Carlisle Football Club, whose ground was also hit but is in the process of being repaired.
