There are chains filling the gaps between the text. Labour promise change then bring in Tory cuts cuts still kill Labour Roses thrive in shit People don’t. Cuts cuts cuts. If the system cripples you you must cripple the system. New government same old shit Why bother to vote? Rebel Resist Revolt The shroud is white fabric with red and blue text, with red and blue roses. Labour Cuts Still Kill MPs on £94,000 Plus Expenses Cut Benefits And Spend More On ‘Defence’. Who Benefits From War? #Welfare Not Warfare The shroud is white fabric with black, white and blue text. Down the right hand side, red scissors have chopped the heads off three red roses.

England local councils paid £2.8bn for temporary accommodation for homeless people.

131,140 households in temporary accommodation, including 169,050 homeless children.

Result of low income/benefits, profiteering, high housing costs.

What if £2.8bn was used to build social housing?
Cost of housing homeless people in temporary accommodation soars to £2.8bn
Councils in England are paying £2.8bn a year to house homelessness families in temporary accommodation as homelessness crisis deepens.
