The NHS in England is facing record repairs bills totaling £12bn, with hospitals like Northwick Park and Mount Vernon in need of significant investment. Homelessness and rough sleeping are sharply rising in England and the US, overwhelming shelter systems. The UK Government's lack of respect for disabled people and failure to protect the vulnerable from cuts to services, tackle the cost-of-living, and address the housing crisis have been criticized. The ongoing cost of living crisis, spiraling rents, and benefit cuts have contributed to the rise in rough sleeping, prompting the Mayor of London to launch a winter Rough Sleeping campaign.
“The city...have been using this tactic for years -weaponizing shelter as a means to carry out criminal enforcement and removal operations despite the fact that...SF has never had enough shelter and individuals have no voluntary access to shelter." https://t.co/m3uY1UMMo1

The numbers of people sleeping rough across the country is sadly on the rise—the ongoing cost of living crisis, spiralling rents and benefit cuts have created the perfect storm. Today I am launching my winter Rough Sleeping campaign. @ITVLondon https://t.co/GXz7qrMCsq
The cost-of-living crisis is putting unbearable strain on households across the country and is creating a conveyor belt of people forced to sleep rough on our streets. This national crisis demands a national response from the Government. @ITVLondon https://t.co/M87BIXZ2Un
The NHS is literally ‘falling to bits’ as England’s hospitals face record repairs bills totalling £12bn. Eg Northwick Park and Mount Vernon Hospitals both need significant new investment but so far there’s little sign of @RishiSunak delivering it… https://t.co/aECsXADJtD
A disgraceful decision which sums up just how little respect the UK Government has for disabled people. https://t.co/PMXPBCgGJQ
These figures are a shocking indictment of our Government’s failure to protect the most vulnerable from cuts to services, tackle the cost-of-living & address the housing crisis. Govt inaction is putting our mission to end rough sleeping in London at risk. https://t.co/AOZqiHVxh4 https://t.co/bWf7QF9cTb

A surge in homelessness is overwhelming shelter systems in Pittsburgh and other U.S. cities—as winter approaches https://t.co/LnpIijZBgk Typically these people have done a lot to alienate their families, otherwise they would have help.
