Braverman homeless policy: Grim politics from a desperate government

Responding to Suella Braverman's new policy of fining charities for providing tents to homeless people, Liberal Democrat Home Affairs spokesperson Alistair Carmichael MP said:

"This is grim politics from a desperate Conservative government which knows it's day are numbered.

 "It is a new low for Braverman to criminalise homeless charities for simply trying to keep vulnerable people warm and dry in winter.

"The British public raise millions of pounds for homeless people at this time of year, and the government's response is to criminalise those charities trying to help.

"This policy will do nothing to stop rough sleeping and will leave vulnerable people to face the harsh weather conditions without any shelter whatsoever."
