I HAVE written in my Morning Star column before how the homelessness levels in our country are a national scandal, and news this week confirmed the human costs of the Tories’ inaction in this area, as well as being a devastating indictment of 10 years of austerity cutting so many essential public services to the bone.
The Museum of Homelessness (MoH) — which describes itself as “a community-driven social justice museum, based in London and created and run by people with direct experience of homelessness” — this week released the figure that 976 homeless people across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland died last year (2020.)
This 2020 figure was a 37 per cent increase in the number of deaths reported in 2019.
