🚨We urgently need your financial support to keep going!
We support 1000's of people every week experiencing homelessness across London
Our

are seeing an increase in desperate people weekly
We really need your help! 🙏
Apparently the last tweet might offend people who don't donate to foodbanks, so, to fix this, we have prepared a new tweet:
Donate to your local foodbank. People are hungry. Foodbanks are running dangerously low on food. Alive people need food.
Thanks.
Millions of people across our country do not have access to any photo ID. If the Tories try to say the ID has to be a passport or driving licence, that tops 11 million.
Voter ID is a blatant attempt by the Tories to rig the result of the next General Election.

Abhorrent & inhumane treatment by

We demand they issue an immediate apology and compensate the individual adequately.
Does
@CityWestminster
condemn such actions carried out in their borough?
Amanda, have you ever written about those 4.2m Brits living in food poverty, and why that might be?
You're a columnist in a national newspaper, so it must be an issue you've addressed previously?
Or are you just trying to pit struggling people against one another?
While 4.2million Brits live in food poverty those aboard the Bibby barge eat til their hearts content..
One in ten British children don’t even have breakfast while illegal migrants fill their bellies like a Cruise holiday buffet
Eggs, cheese, meat, cereal, toast and jam -…
"My clothing, everything from the past 23 years, all my belongings, is away...is gone,"
"The tent was like my home. It was where I found peace.
"I feel devastated you know."
He said he had been given no notice about the removal of his tent.
Thanks to anyone and everyone who has donated to a foodbank today because of our tweet, and thanks to everyone who gets angry at our tweets and improves our social media reach.
You're all helping 🤗
🚨ALERT! Police have issued a section 35 dispersal order and are forcing people experiencing homelessness to move or face arrest.
This is outrageous from
@CamdenCouncil

@MPSCamden
must immediately halt this operation. We call on all to get down and help resist.
🚨We are hearing very worrying reports that
@CamdenCouncil
or
@MPSCamden
or most likely both intend to remove tents & possessions of those experiencing homelessness near UCH tomorrow
We have been liaising with those threatened & will be watching closely if this cruel act occurs.

Just thought we'd point out a few things that the media seem to be overlooking at the moment:
Sajid Javid is lying.
Boris Johnson is lying.
Dominic Raab is lying.
Matt Hancock is lying.
Brandon Lewis is lying.
If you don't call them out on it, you look like you're in on it.
👍
Journalists, please stop fucking asking people if they feel embarrassed for taking food from food banks. By continually asking this you are insinuating that they SHOULD feel embarrassed for receiving help.
They are trying to survive.
There is no shame in trying to survive.

If you've taken the time to make a sandwich and travel to Buckingham Palace, along with the cost of both (as a gesture to the late Monarch, worth £600m), I'd frankly be astonished that the same kind of gesture couldn't be made to people who are still alive, and struggling to eat.
Can someone explain why
@UKLabour
is trying to oust 'MP of the Year'
@IanByrneMP
?
The attempt to remove anyone with compassion & altruism from this party, and replace them with self-serving careerists, should concern everyone.
If you did everything in your power to avoid a Corbyn government, shut the fuck up with your faux sympathy about food banks struggling.
This is what you wanted. Take some fucking responsibility for your actions.
@CharlieBinbags
@Helenmarchant9
Charlie, can you make it across to us at 204 Great Portland Street? We've bedding, a roof, hot tea and coffee, food and clothing ♥️
Thanks to your incredible generosity to our fundraiser, we will be able to purchase upwards of 100 tents.
Let this be a warning to anyone attempting to forcibly remove what little people have left.
We can distribute them much quicker than you can destroy them.
Solidarity.
If you really wanted to distance yourself from Jeremy Corbyn's leadership of the Labour Party, you would simply stop using promotional material from during his leadership, to make yourself look popular.
URGENT SIMPLE ACTION
Grab as many metros paper as you can and rip out this ad out on page 3 and give to homeless people or anybody who needs it

🚨Council admits hiring lorries to get rid of homeless tents after initially denying it
🚨
@CamdenCouncil
admitted they were behind homeless tents being destroyed
🚨"Determined to make improvements to how rough sleepers are supported in the borough”.
I will strongly contest the political intervention to suspend me.
I’ve made absolutely clear those who deny there has been an antisemitism problem in the Labour Party are wrong.
I will continue to support a zero tolerance policy towards all forms of racism.
🚨BREAKING UPDATE
Met Police apologises to
@libertyhq
client Anthony Sinclair who was arrested for refusing to leave the place he was living
His possessions were destroyed while he was in custody
Met admits 'dispersal order' was unlawful and officers violated his human rights
An MP local to us donates every part of his being to his local community & has done for some 30+ yrs.
But he is the devil incarnate, according to the UK media & some morons on Twitter.
Don't let the billionaire non-doms in charge of the media, control what you think and feel.
Honoured to attend the official opening ceremony of the

Our NHS simply will not survive another 5 years of Conservative government.

We've suddenly got many Tories coming out in support of the homeless and vulnerable, as if it wasn't their treacherous policies that caused this problem in the first place.
Don't pretend you care, just because it's Christmas. Your votes speak volumes, your charity means little.

We passed someone on Tottenham Court Road, today. They're only 4 days homeless, and didn't have a sleeping bag the last few nights. They'd barely slept since.
They now own a 350 artic sleeping bag, a gift from all of you.
♥️♥️♥️
This continued bullying of left-wing Jews really has to stop.
Rebecca, if you'd like to contest Jo's policies, that's fine, but Jo is no longer a member of
@UKLabour
and considering you work for
@hopenothate
you really should be setting a better standard.
The Green Party must decide whether to tolerate or kick out the cranks they absorbed from the Labour Party.
Right now it’s looking like they’re happy to continue to promote these people and create a home for them.
Shameful.
We are struggling big time for volunteers, and bills are going to hit us hard.
The volunteer sector feels like it's imploding at the moment; people just can't spare the time with the cost of living crisis going on amongst us.
This is the worst it's been in living memory 🙁
Thinking today of all of the people who have dedicated their lives to the betterment of this country, but who struggle to pay bills, buy food, and afford somewhere to live.

MORE INFO TO COME
#NoMoreDeathsOnOurStreets
In London, 24,400 commercial properties currently sit empty.
22,500 of those have been empty for 6+ months.
That's 6,500,000m², or 27 Westfield Shopping Centres of floorspace, sitting empty, unused.
Why are people sleeping rough?
Why indeed.
Fun fact about the UK media:
You will NEVER be door-stepped for promoting racist policies.
You will ALWAYS be door-stepped for speaking out against them.
So we had Hollywood legend

10am-4pm
We are £100 away from reaching our target of £4,000, to provide sleeping bags for over 100 people, due to go back onto the streets.
That. Is. Insane.
Thank you to everyone who managed to donate, and those that are unable to, we know you wish you could. That's enough.
EVERYONE who was involved in that day's heinous actions were at fault!

@CamdenCouncil

@uclh
ALL were equally complicit
There's much more we would like to say but all is now in the hands of our excellent legal support teams.
This must NEVER happen again ANYWHERE!
Camden Council says it did arrange a bin lorry to clear tents from outside a hospital building on Friday but admits it was 'wrong' and it's 'determined to make improvements to how rough sleepers are supported in the borough'.
We've just spoken to a contact who is trying to save THIRTY THOUSAND READY MEALS from landfill.
These are staff meals for an airline, we're assured they are good quality and can be kept frozen for 6 months.
Any outreach or day centres get in contact if you're able to take 500+.
Homeless tents tossed into a rubbish truck, the images that shame
@CamdenCouncil
A DOZEN homeless people were evicted from their sleeping spot next to a hospital last Friday, as police, security and bin workers arrived in the masses to throw away tents..
We've 30+ people with a safe place to sleep tonight, who'd otherwise be out in the cold tonight. Plenty of volunteers to watch over them, and enough food and drinks to go around. Thanks again to
@FrancoMancaPizz
for filling their bellies tonight, and to our followers on Twitter.
Hard Left:
Someone who opposes homelessness, starvation, poverty wages, and war, while fighting for a functioning welfare system, NHS, and safer routes for refugees.
🚨🚨We are absolutely outraged.
Police have arrested someone experiencing homelessness who has refused to move.
Please get down to UCH and show support if you can.

We will not be dismayed by the cruelty of the powers that be. We will continue to stand in solidarity the unheard & the dehumanised🖤

It's not refugees, immigrants, Russia or the EU you should be worried about.
It's your own government.

Please remember when sharing photos/videos of homeless women, that ONE IN THREE are there as a result of domestic violence.
When sharing images/videos you are potentially disclosing their location.
Please also ensure that they have given their express permission to be filmed.
Theresa May puts on green lights to bring awareness to mental health.
She's also cut £100m+ from mental health budgets and thousands of beds in secure units, while increasing mental health problems through austerity policies.
No one gives a flying fuck about your lights.
Last night we lit Downing Street in green to mark the start of

We must all work together to make sure that looking after our mental health is as natural and positive as looking after our physical health.
@ukhomeoffice
What the fuck is wrong with you?
Have you found some kind of causal link between fried chicken and knife crime?
Or is this as racist as it looks?
PLEASE Take care of each other.
take a wee walk around your area, if you spot homeless people try & keep them warm somehow... sleeping bags, hot drinks, jumpers whatever....
contact your local council SWEP is in place
WE CAN ALL DO SOMETHING

Fuck the Tories. Fuck Boris Johnson and his fucking cabinet of lying fucks. Fuck austerity. Fuck needless deaths. Fuck closures. Fuck underfunding. Fuck poverty. Fuck the huge rise in homelessness. Fuck zero hours. Fuck the complicit media. Fuck hopelessness.
We can be better.
Judge ruled against us. He has granted the claimant a possession order.
We will continue to provide support, sleeping bags, hot food and a social environment for the homeless of London.
Thank you for all your support during this battle.

Will any food banks be open on the 19th September? We understand that certain foodbanks will be shut for the Queen's funeral.
