Grateful to join an @insidehousing round table with leaders in London to discuss record numbers of households in temporary accommodation.

I spoke about spiralling cost, poor outcomes, especially for families, and the need to shift to prevention.

Pls send this to a young person who would make a brilliant political reporter especially if you think they might lack other avenues or the sort of self belief that only money can buy.... https://t.co/8LuqlH25zd

Meeting with the Liverpool City Region Combined Authority…

Majestic views over the Port of Liverpool Building, built in the Edwardian Baroque style, and the Art Deco modernism of the George’s Dock Building next door … with Royal Liver Building behind

Rain! Blessed rain!

@chhcalling I remember being out on the stump with you at the by-election you fought - Leicester South. And a lunchtime event in an Indian restaurant that went on into late afternoon, with more speeches than I could ever have imagined …

@amanda_spielman @greg_ashman But … where is your question mark? (#grammar)

[Greg Hurst @Greg__Hurst]

@PFRC_uk @BristolUni You can read their report here: https://t.co/MvznYZTYuJ

[Greg Hurst @Greg__Hurst]

Thanks to @paullewismoney and the team for having me on @Moneybox on @BBCRadio4 to talk about our latest @homelessimpact report on how debt - chiefly arrears in rent, council tax and utility bills - has become a structural driver of homelessness👇

[Greg Hurst @Greg__Hurst]

This report, by academics at @PFRC_uk at @BristolUni, shows how problem debt is a key mechanism through which structural pressures become housing crises. The fundamental point is, we can prevent this - with smarter early intervention and resolution, not automatic enforcement

[Greg Hurst @Greg__Hurst]

Very exciting that the Scottish Government cited research published by @homelessimpact when announcing its introduction of Care Leaver Payments from next month 🚀
Should improve prospects for thousands of young people leaving local authority care in Scottish in coking years

It’s nice to work next to the Inner Temple Garden
