Rough sleeping up 74% since Tories came to power. Mercer can play with gimmicks like Operation Fortitude, but he doesn’t really care. Imagine being part of a government that put nearly 1,000 people onto London’s streets in October by evicting them with 2 days notice. Disgraceful

There is a stark difference between being “homeless” - not having your own home, and sleeping outside every night because of a lack of other options. I was always in this for Paul and his type - not the Vorderman type. I make no apology for that.
