The cost of homelessness can be seen another way: the opportunity to invest in a future where a safe home is affordable to people on low incomes and young people starting out in life. This new report from @centrepointuk is a vital contribution of evidence centrepoint.org.uk/sites/def…

129,000 young people faced homelessness in the UK last year – the highest level ever recorded. But it doesn't have to be this way.
If we want to see an end to youth homelessness then that has to start with the government putting forward a credible plan. bit.ly/3YTXPiM

Last month I worked undercover with debt collectors breaking into homes of vulnerable families for British Gas
We were sent to force-fit prepayment meters at homes including one where a mum was with her 4 week old baby.
If families cannot top up, their heating can be cut off
Very best wishes to all #sleepingout for @nightsafebwd tonight.. missing being with you but there in spirit #nightsafeheros

@jessphillips summed up 👇🏽every aspect of case work root cause is lack of governing. Home office decision making, passport processing, food waste legislation… don’t get me started on adult social care funding…transport, road safety .. nada, nothing. #GeneralElectionN0W – at Blackburn, England
“When’s the governing going to start?
“For the last year all you’ve governed is your own survival and the country is on its knees”
Labour’s @jessphillips says today's politics overshadowed a major report on child abuse #bbcqt
Just watched this report.. makes me so angry and can only see it getting worse with current threats to public spending.. it’s appalling @NightsafeJan #foodpoverty #childrendeservebetter
“I was reading books like Oliver Twist to kids and now I feel in some ways we are living that, seeing kids go hungry"
Tonight on #c4news we hear from one headteacher who describes the hunger she's seeing in schools as the worst in her 25 years of teaching.
