David Cameron’s compassionate Conservatism was declared “dead on arrival” today after figures showed a sharp rise in homeless families.
The number of people forced to live in emergency B&B accommodation and hostels has increased by 103% since the Tories came to power in 2010.
And the number of homeless households rose from 41,780 in 2009 to 56,500 last year – an increase of 35%.
The number of homeless is up 35% since 2010
The Department for Communities figures also showed a rise in the number of homeless families with children, up 42% in the last five years to 41,020, and disabled homeless which was up 39% since 2010.
The number living in temporary accommodation rose to 69,140 in December 2015 – 14% higher than in 2014 and a staggering 103% higher than in 2010.
Labour’s shadow Housing minister John Healey said the figures showed Mr Cameron’s compassionate Conservatism was “dead on arrival.”
