Tory failure on housing is deep-rooted

THERESA MAY and Jeremy Corbyn will attend today’s service at St Paul’s Cathedral to mark the half-yearly anniversary of the Grenfell Tower conflagration, with 150 families still awaiting a permanent home.

May has been called out for her failure to make good on her promise to rehouse all survivors within three weeks of the fire and is reduced to making more promises that few believe.

The government’s failure to honour its Grenfell pledges reflects its attitude towards the wider picture of homelessness.
