This Govt's plans to reduce homelessness will fail while their own immigration policies fuel it.
Our immigration system makes it too easy for people to lose their homes and too hard to get their lives back.

Starmer's push to hollow out safeguards for victims of torture is not 'in the public interest'. It’s a betrayal of the values Britain claims to stand for.

Today's Child Poverty Strategy leaves thousands of migrant children - 40% of all children in poverty - out in the cold.
Every child deserves the same chance to thrive.
Poverty is a political choice. The Govt's failure to act for all children falls short of the scale and urgency of the crisis.

The UK’s migration policies are backfiring - hurting both economic growth and efforts to end homelessness.
The OECD says cutting immigration is now “a drag” on the economy, while refugee homelessness has more than doubled in two years.
We urgently need policies that value people over politics.

The number of people migrating to the UK is down, again.
Lower migration is bad for our economy, especially our already struggling public services. The economy getting worse means politicians scapegoat and blame migrants and refugees even more. It’s a doom loop where we’re all worse off.

Today’s budget simply doesn’t meet the scale of the challenges facing our country. You can’t build strong public services while proposing migration policies that drive out the people who deliver them. You can’t cut waiting lists without doctors, nurses, carers, & support staff who make the NHS run.
