Experts warn homelessness services across the country will face closure, leaving thousands of people without the support they need The new Labour administration has also warned that the country faces the “most acute housing crisis in living memory”. Rick Henderson, chief executive of Homeless Link, the national body for frontline homelessness organisations, said: “We are desperately worried that homelessness services across the country will face closure, leaving thousands of people without the support they need. In its election manifesto, Labour said it would “develop a new cross-government strategy, working with mayors and councils across the country, to put Britain back on track to ending homelessness”.

Will the Budget cost you money - and did Rachel Reeves do a good job? This is Money podcast

Daily Mail  

Rachel Reeves' maiden Budget saw the first-ever female chancellor make £40billion of sweeping tax rises in to plug funding gaps in the NHS and schools. Among the Autumn Budget losers were landlords, investors and those who have stashed wealth in their pension, as stamp duty, capital gains tax and inheritance tax all came under the spotlight.

DAILY MAIL COMMENT: This was a painful budget - with worse to come

Daily Mail  

There are three kinds of lies, said Mark Twain. In her first Budget, Chancellor Rachel Reeves cynically reneged on those promises with a £40billion tax bombshell.

Voters are backing Reeves now – but she needs her gamble to pay off before the next election

The Independent  

The short-term politics of Rachel Reeves’s Budget are clear. Much of a £40bn increase in taxes is visited – in the first instance at least – on business, most notably through a 1.2 per cent increase in employers’ national insurance. A projected average growth rate of around 1.5 per cent a year certainly does not signify a fundamental change in …

I could give you a hundred reasons homelessness has become L.A. County’s most vexing challenge, from the gargantuan income gap to housing costs to the scourge of drugs and mental illness, but the biggest impediment to solving it may be this: Nobody is in charge. Sarah Dusseault, chair of the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority commission, told me Tuesday that …
