Great debate on @skysarahjane with @vicrayner @TheKingsFund on preventative approaches, workforce development and a holistic approach to responding to people. So refreshing

Pleased to see that proposals which could have effectively criminalised the use of tents by people sleeping rough have been ditched.
The Government must now turn their attention towards the rising levels of rough sleeping.

Wrote to @thetimes responding to Suella saying that only *some* homeless people should be allowed tents. Glad they published it.

This chart - by Case and Deaton for Brookings - is just the most incredible illustration of the human cost of inequality. It shows that Americans with an undergraduate degree live as long as the Japanese and all citizens on average (with or without degrees) in other rich countries. But Americans without degrees die an appalling 8.5 years younger than their educated fellow citizens, and their life spans are way way shorter than you would expect of citizens in the world’s richest country. A significant life expectancy gap between rich and poor is sadly also characteristic of the UK, even with the UK’s famously better universal healthcare provision. A decent healthcare system cannot rectify the ravages to wellbeing caused by deprivation

Let's run a hypothetical. You are a charity committed to ending homelessness. You think the only way to achieve this is for policy to change. Are you supppsed to campaign on that? Or are you supposed to just focus on doing sleep-out and soup runs?

So we watch silently while government creates poverty, injustice and destitution and then we, as mute charities, simply pick up the pieces? No, no, no #NeverMoreNeeded

All depends on how the folk staying in them get on. Shoukd be okay so long as support and a sense of community are there, and decent move on options when ready.
