Great to see @HomelessAPPG member @deirdrecostigan raising families facing & experiencing the worst forms of homelessness with the Prime Minister today. We look forward to working with the Government to get Britain back on track to ending homelessness.

[Matt Bold @BoldMatthew]

@BBCScrumV Teddy Williams will make a huge impact from the stands.

Because Gatland will have to pick the form lock in Wales after the pack has been steamrolled once again...

“It is unjustifiable that people who are sleeping rough, and having to move between night buses, doorways and 24-hour cafes to keep warm, could also be fined or prosecuted just for trying to stay safe."
Matt Downie, Crisis CEO.

If you are sleeping rough, you can still be fined up to £1,000 under the Vagrancy Act.

This is unjustifiable in 21st century Britain.

What’s going on!? 🧵 1/7

If you are one of the poor souls afflicted with the curse of earning over £100k, please know I will happily take one for the team and swap salaries with you.

[The Times and Sunday Times @thetimes]

It sounds like a lot, but for those with a young family earning a low six-figure salary can put you on a cliff edge where a £2,000 pay rise will cost you £12,000

Given we have no evidence Paddington applied for a visa prior to travel and Peru is a safe third country the Home Office is clearly violating its own rules here.

This headline is such a classic example of how hegets away with it. There's no focus on what this decision says about his homophobia or racism.

It's just all court politics, whose up, whose down in the land of the Puce King.

[The New York Times @nytimes]

Donald Trump's decision to elevate Laura Loomer, a far-right activist known for racist and homophobic posts online, has stunned even some of his allies. https://t.co/eek8EOaHLM

[APPG for Ending Homelessness @HomelessAPPG]

The APPG for Ending Homelessness has been re-formed after its inaugural meeting this morning.

We elected officers, welcomed new members and heard from Manoel, a Lived Experience Campaigner, on why the APPG matters and the solutions we know can #EndHomelessness

[Matt Bold @BoldMatthew]

Yeah, it's been fun. But I'm out and heading to BlueSky 'til he sells.

🎶Closing time... 🎶

Just Elon Musk quote tweeting the co-leader of far-right party, Britain First, who is sharing a fake Telegraph headline

Utterly dystopian

[Matt Bold @BoldMatthew]

The last few days has been such a clear example of the: online far right talking point -> "respectable" figures "just asking questions" -> Journalists raise it as a "concern", pipeline

Really welcome to see the emphais on delivering social and affordable homes as a foundation for personal security and resilient communities.

[Angela Rayner @AngelaRayner]

We’ve inherited a Tory housing crisis. It will take time to repair the huge damage that’s been done.

But we’re starting as we mean to go on – with energy and purpose - to rebuild Britain and deliver the secure homes people need. ✍🏻 ⬇️

@jamesbrinning #sponsoredcontent 😉 Actually that's way more reasonably priced than most sports passes!

[Matt Bold @BoldMatthew]

For the love of God, literally 30 seconds left of France v Brazil left in the basketball and the BBC decide to cut away to a generic recap of the days highlights?!?

[Matt Bold @BoldMatthew]

@AJustCauser Yeah, strong start! Josh unlucky in the cycling.

[Matt Bold @BoldMatthew]

The Olympics coverage is another example of things just getting worse. Used to be able to watch basically any sport you wanted. Now thanks to the Warner deal you're stuck with 1/2 sports...

[Matt Bold @BoldMatthew]

@AJustCauser So annoying! If you're on the BBC Sport page you can still change to Olympics Extra.
