This week I was delighted to greet HRH Duchess of Edinburgh on a visit to Manor Green College, Crawley where she met children and parents engaged with Super Siblings, a local charity which provides support to the brothers and sisters of those with learning disabilities.
We need more Social Housing. We have enough homeless kids in England to fill the 02 arena more than 6 times.
They are waiting for Social Housing.
It’s not about political point scoring. It’s people’s lives.

Here's another for you @SuellaBraverman. 18 year old boy from Enfield. His Mum dies and he has no family. He ends up homeless living in a shed. He gets my contact details and I help him. I put him in the Travelodge on the A10 for 2 weeks until I can find him a room in a housing association. I knew the staff so this was possible. He was scared, cold, wet, and starving when I picked him up. He cried for hours. Anyhow we looked after him and now he's doing a degree in engineering. It was not a lifestyle choice for him. And I'm sure he'd be more than happy to educate you on this.
At 16, I was placed in a bedsit with two older men who were both alcoholics. The place was dangerous and unsuitable for a 16 year old boy leaving care and starting an independent life. No one listened when I begged for somewhere safe to live. I ended up falling behind on my bills because I had no money or support, and before I knew it, I was homeless. That's how quickly it can happen, and you have no control over it whatsoever. It is not a lifestyle choice. @SuellaBraverman
