John, homelessness is a growing problem across the UK.

And this Tory government’s “hostile environment” policy, aiming to deport non-British people without homes is not helping. It’s the typical Tory response - aggressive, insensitive and inhumane.

My Liberal Democrat local council is carving out a more caring path. Vale of White Horse Council in Oxfordshire is reducing homeless by understanding and working with those affected - rather than punishing them.

We work in partnership with people who are about to become homeless. So far we have prevented 79% of people at risk of homelessness from losing their homes. Liberal Democrat councils pick up the slack where the government falls short.

Our councils work with their communities for a fairer, more caring local environment.
