'Abject failure' as UK's homeless deaths rise - including children
The government's homelessness minister, Alison McGovern MP, has described the increased number of deaths as an "abject failure that cannot be tolerated".
1,611 homeless Britons died last yr, including 11 children & babies under the age of one.
Contrary to Suella Braverman, homelessness isn't a lifestyle. It is a failure of society.
Yet govts cut wages/benefits, public services, local council funding; no curbs on profiteering.
How civilised are we?

Irony being that the entire Farage-isation of British politics is built on the phenomenon of white right-wingers who don't want to "integrate" with the reality of multi-ethnic Britain, don't want to accept migrants as their fellow citizens, and don't want people of colour moving into their street.

The UAE is an authoritarian autocracy, a petro-state with no income tax for citizens, to bribe them for the lack of democratic voice or free speech

High immigration levels damage communities, Kemi Badenoch warns
The Conservative leader says society is in danger of fragmenting unless concerns are acted on.
Poverty, underfunded healthcare, poor services, and a lack of jobs. That's what damages communities.
Blaming immigrants is a distraction.
I say that as an immigrant. Kemi described herself as "to all intents and purposes a first-generation immigrant" (Politico, 2022)

No sudden rupture is now required for the far right to take power in this country. For what we're seeing is a steady normalisation of extremists by the Conservative and Labour Parties, BBC, Telegraph, Mail and others. A shift once considered unthinkable beings to look acceptable, even inevitable.๐งต
