Ms Simpson asked the Prime Minister a number of animated questions about local issues, including the floods, as he stood on the pavement.

Mr Cameron had just left a meeting with council officials and emergency services workers about the deluge which hit the town on Friday night.

Earlier, he visited the flood-damaged home of Sarah-Jayne Robins in Todmorden. Miss Robins was trapped for 12 hours upstairs in her home when water poured out of the nearby canal.
