THOUSANDS of families are facing homelessness in the run-up to Christmas and new year due to Tory failure to end no-fault evictions, analysis of the latest official figures has shown.

Estimates by the Labour Party last night suggested that on current trends, 5,758 households could be threatened with homelessness in the final quarter of 2023.

This figure is based on the year-on-year 10.3 per cent uplift recorded by the government.
