We knew Camden had an issue with hostile architecture, but we didn’t realise our plastic chairs at 11a Pratt Street were so terrifying to @Sagal_AW and @torywin! 😱🪑

​They won't bite. Come talk housing with the community on Tuesday... 🙏

At least 22 deaths.
A 23% rough sleeping surge.
£78 million wasted?

& just a few confirmed RSVPs from several by-election campaigns...
​Why are prospective MPs dodging #Camden’s housing crisis? 🧵👇

We hope you will be attending the housing & homeless hustings...

So far we have heard NOTHING! 🤔

[Streets Kitchen @streetskitchen]

You cannot claim you want to represent Holborn & St Pancras while avoiding the tenants, outreach workers, and unhoused neighbours dealing with Camden's broken reality every day.

​Doorstep photo-ops are no substitute for facing the community.

​Silence is not acceptable.

@HopeBohemia @ZackPolanski To their credit The Green Party have responded positively very quickly!! 💚

This is what a campaign of hope looks like. Can’t wait to go again today!

[Scarlet#4TheMany 💚 @Dovepetalchile]

Will @Sagal_AW, the @UKLabour candidate in HOLBORN & St PANCRAS bother to turn up?

Or will she continue to avoid scrutiny?

What do you think @AngelaRayner as Housing Minister?

Now THIS hustings shd be interesting!

Housing and Homelessness, 2 days before the Holborn and St Pancras by election🧐🧐🧐

[Streets Kitchen @streetskitchen]

🚨Camden recorded a 23% increase in rough sleepers in the last year, the biggest proportional rise of any London borough, after the council spent more than £78million on homelessness and rough sleeping services since May 2024...

Wasted millions surely 😫

Police have launched a criminal investigation into the management of HMP Lowdham Grange after five men took their own lives in nine months https://t.co/FtAImU7LKy

In a damning prevention of future deaths report re three men who took their own lives within 19 days of each other, senior coroner Laurinda Bower said multiple failings and missed opportunities had led to their deaths

@Sagal_AW We look forward to hearing more...

1,720 people died while experiencing homelessness in the UK last year... 💔
​That includes 50 children.

​Since 2017, over 10,000 people have died without a secure place to call home.

This isn’t a housing statistic — it is a national scandal.

@ElectoralCommUK @LDNRentersUnion @ACORNLDN @hstplabour @CamdenLibDems @CamdenTories @ZackPolanski @Sagal_AW @RichardOsley @owenjonesjourno @andrewfeinstein & when the candidates and canvassers come knocking, don’t let them off easy!

​Ask them directly: what is your plan to end rough sleeping, cap soaring rents, and fix disrepair in our estates?

​Make #housing the #1 issue on every doorstep in Camden.
