Evening Standard has endorsed Sadiq Khan for London Mayor. Quite the journey from having backed Liz Truss for PM!

As a new bill to ban the sale of leasehold houses faces Conservative opposition in the Commons, Sky spoke to leaseholders who feel trapped by the 'vicious cycle' of charges they pay for properties 'falling into disrepair' ⬇️

Nearly 10,000 children in Birmingham are living in temporary accommodation. This often means overcrowding, disrepair, difficulty getting to school and exposure to serious risk.

It's time to end the #HousingEmergency and ensure every one of these kids has a proper home.

So potential for two Tory incumbents on West Mids and Tees to hold on, but in two new mayoralties - East Mids and North Yorkshire Labour win big. Would mean A) incumbency matters a lot in mayoral races B) non-incumbent races are matching the national polling.

“In the last 18 months, 650 members of Parliament have received 23 threats to kill.”

'If this was a village of 650 people - you wouldn’t want to live in it.”

Incredibly important investigation by The News Agents’ Lewis Goodall on the hidden crisis of homeless children.

With a staggering ~140,000 homeless children, this shame must be central to ‘levelling up’ plans, and not nearly enough is being done.

Devastating set of statistics on homelessness out today.

To hear from the people experiencing homelessness and a good overview of its drivers I recommend Lewis Goodall The News Agents investigation into temporary accommodation globalplayer.com/podcasts/episo…

Today's gov figures show there are now 145,800 children living in temporary accommodation (as of Dec)

We tried to highlight the stories of some of those children on our pod this weekend - do listen if you haven't

Thank you Lewis Goodall & The News Agents for shining a light on this issue & these children.
At Magic Breakfast we hear from partner schools that temporary accommodation is a root cause of classroom hunger. No facilities to store or prep food mean children are #TooHungryToLearn

Please listen to this. How lack of social housing is baking in disadvantage and crippling Council finances. A powerful piece.

This is superb journalism, but heartbreaking listening.

140,000 kids waking up this morning in temporary accomodation. We can -and must - do better than this.

This is excellent. Hopefully it gets the reach and attention it deserves but as pointed out in the podcast, it will be way down the list of talking points come the general election campaign

About a quarter of all my time working as a local Councillor is spent on supporting families placed by various London Councils in temporary accommodation in my ward. We should all be ashamed that so many children across our nation are growing up trapped in homelessness.

In absolute pieces after listening to this. So important and so devastating. A must listen - and then support, somehow, anyhow. 👇

The latest The News Agents episode examines the very real impact of Britain's temporary accommodation crisis. Led by Lewis Goodall, it’s a powerful listen.

We're demanding party leaders commit to ending homelessness. Add your name to our letter now: campaigns.crisis.org.uk/page/143629/pe…

📢 Record numbers of households are #homeless in temporary accommodation, including 142,490 children.

'It's a direct result of the failure to build enough social rented homes.'

Shelter's Head of Policy Charlie Trew spoke to The News Agents for this episode 👇

'He's had to deal with a raft of issues which have 𝐧𝐨𝐭 been of his making.'

How much of Humza Yousaf’s demise was about the hand he was dealt by Nicola Sturgeon?

Lewis Goodall asks Stephen Flynn MP.

Stephen Flynn tells The News Agents both he and Kate Forbes are 'too young' to lead the SNP and urges colleagues to back John Swinney.
