The prime minister is leading by example by donating 15% of his salary to the fight against homelessness.
His gesture reminds us that homelessness is all our problem. Everyone needs to put their shoulder to the wheel.

Andy Burnham’s first pledge as Prime Minister is to end rough sleeping.
A Prime Minister with his priorities straight.
I’m also encouraged to hear his intention to build a more preventative state. This will be crucial if he truly wants to eradicate rough sleeping for good.

Renters like Natasha will no longer be scared of complaining about damp in case they're evicted…
Read my article for @BigIssue talking about the difference that the Renters’ Rights Act will make for real people as it comes into force today.
