Devastating images show major flooding around the UK after Storm Frank strikes

Storm Frank - the sixth named storm to strike Britain this season - has caused yet more flooding and devastation in the UK.

Multiple weather warnings have been issued by the Environment Agency and BP ordered the evacuation of a North Sea oil platform on Thursday after a barge broke its anchor following the storm.

Areas of the UK are still recovering from the damage inflicted by Storm Desmond earlier this winter. The government has been criticised in some quarters for failing to adequately respond to the crisis and to properly fund the north's flood defences.

On Thursday Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn announced he would visit York.

Corbyn, quoted by The Telegraph, said late on Wednesday night: "Tomorrow I am meeting officials from the Environment Agency (EA) emergency response team in York.

"I will raise with them why they have failed to deploy these brand new pumps that looks as if they could have helped significantly in alleviating some of the worst impacts of the floods in the north of England."

Thousands of homes in Northern Ireland have experienced power cuts with Belfast International Airport also experiencing disruption to flights.
