On @BBCPoliticsWest from 10: I meet Henry who describes sleeping rough in the freezing cold by the canal in Devizes. When COVID hit, the council found & housed him, he's now on a work training course. But others fall through the cracks & charities worry it's about to get worse.

Two West Tory MPs will vote against a 2nd lockdown this pm. @MarcusFysh & @Mark_J_Harper (both with tier 1 seats) think the tier system should be kept for longer. They’ve questioned govt data after the PM claimed SW hospitals would be overrun in weeks @BBCBristol @BBCPolitics
