The government is handing money to companies that make huge profits from housing people seeking safety in appalling conditions.
But this could be used to fund a joined-up, local approach to housing people seeking safety.

It’s almost like the right wing press has an agenda and will throw basic editorial codes like “be accurate” out the window for it 👀
