Official figures showed 4,793 people were homeless or sleeping rough on a single night in England in autumn 2025. The PM has stated he wants these people off the streets by Christmas.
Is there anything better than a nice warm home with protection from the elements? But there are a few who have no home and live on the streets.
But again, there could be many reasons why people are homeless, but something needs to be done. These rough sleepers have no warmth in winter besides the sleeping bags they have.
But this is the tip of the iceberg for homelessness. There are hundreds of thousands living in temporary accommodation. There are also a lot of people surfing sofas.
There are many people rough sleeping, mental health patients and ex-army personnel. These are all vulnerable people needing help from the government.
It’s a 2 Teir situation with illegal immigrants coming to England and getting free accommodation and food.
With migrants coming to the UK weekly, there can be 1000 or more entering. In 5 weeks, if the boats or migrants were returned, that’s all the rough sleepers sorted.
But it’s all darker than that; under Keir Starmer, he did nothing for our homeless. He let more Illegal asylum seekers in and housed them.
What are we doing when we put foreign nationals over our own? But this has been the same with the past governments.
But it’s a great idea by Andy Burnham, but he also states there may not be enough money in the pot to pay for the rough sleeping plan.
But the problem is there will be enough money to house illegal immigrants. This is where 2 tier comes in; we give to the asylum seekers but not to our own.
We have ex-military men on the streets, but if there were a war, how many refugees would fight for us?
It’s a fantastic idea for the government to help rough sleepers. But our rough sleepers come at a price; asylum seekers don’t.
The PM has a good attitude on this subject, but will he succeed? Let’s hope it’s not all talk, and he starts putting the UK first.
