When Andrew Marr begins his show saying “I’m not getting party political but if we don’t notice the rough sleepers all around us at this time of year there’s something wrong with us” you know the country has hit a tipping point
10 years since the last review. Today Julie Rugg and David Rhodes launch the 2018 review on the current state of play of the PRS in England. What’s changed in 10 years? #fixrenting
Another night of either delayed or cancelled trains with @northernassist ironic #tag - last night Newton 17.22 late by 45 mins tonight 17.22 totally cancelled ahem
"Can Greater Manchester aim to provide a bed for every rough sleeper every night of the week over this coming winter?"
Andy's published his latest homelessness blog, updating on his ambition to end the need for rough sleeping in the city-region by 2020.

Great to be debating how we deliver great homes for Greater Manchester at the APPG All Party Parliamentary Group with a whole range of stakeholders around the room @Shelter@greatermcr
@ArrivaTW yet another 3 carriage 7.47 at Earlstown having to leave people behind at Newton what with Northern Fail and now Arrive joining the party. Don't want compensation or to be packed on like sardines just a train that is on time and has adequate capacity not much
@ArrivaTW Disappointing but not surprising give you don't actually attempt to answer my comment. I have stood on trains the difference here is you recently reduced this train from 4 to 3 carriages which has resulted in severe overcrowding and legitemate paying passengers being left behind
We @Shelter are deeply worried about the rollout of #UniversalCredit - here’s my colleague @heatherspurr explaining why we’re afraid for the people we support https://t.co/sztVeVDhpN
Lovely feedback from a client kept in their home yesterday by our legal advisor: "I
just had to send this e-mail to mention your above member of Staff who was
truly outstanding in presenting my Case to the Court as I had no Representation. Miss Holland was very, very impressive"
In the past month our paralegal, Josh, has ensured that 8
homeless people in urgent need of our support were accommodated in Greater
Manchester. Without Josh’s legal representations, they would have been without a home.
Our Legal team has successfully represented 21 people in court this week to keep their homes and will be at St Helen's and Manchester courts tomorrow to ensure no one has to fight bad housing or homelessness on their own. Congratulations to our Manchester Legal team!
How on earth are children supposed to thrive living in a B&B? They can’t get their childhood back you know. Very grateful to @CRAE_official for this powerful guest blog https://t.co/k8tTVGHiwr
