If you fail to get angry when contemplating the potential waste of human potential through youth homelessness, I would argue that you’re simply not human.
It was an honour to host the Westminster Hall Debate on Youth Homelessness today.
We need a #PlanForThe136k
Thanks to Paula Barker MP for securing the debate on youth homelessness in Parliament today - the issue needs to be highlighted. This debate was a great starting point and Commonweal Housing agree with her heart felt 'imploring' of Parliamentary colleagues to keep pushing the issue
Paula Barker MP Jim Shannon MP Mike Amesbury MP Felicity Buchan MP “A national strategy to end youth homelessness is very important”

- but she only spoke of the ending rough sleeping for good strategy. “Data collection is key” but the Govt only collects data of those assessed by councils but not those who approach for support.

We’re very excited to be going to Parliament later with Paula Barker MP leading the first debate on youth homelessness in 40 years! Tune in online or come along to hear MP’s debate on how to make a #PlanForThe136k to #EndYouthHomelessness
I can’t believe it’s been almost 40 years since youth homelessness has been debated in Parliament.
Until every single young person in the country has a safe & secure place to live we should not stop raising this issue.
I’m proud to be leading this debate today #PlanForThe136k
Workers at #PortTalbot are at risk of redundancy because this government lacks the ambition to back our steel industry, as The Labour Party has pledged to do.
The Welsh Secretary has said 'no one will be left behind' if jobs are lost. I will hold him to account every step of the way.
Thanks to Gail Porter for raising awareness of my Westminster Hall debate happening tomorrow.
