"But today, I wanted to say this: we should never accept rough sleeping as normal. Not in Britain, not in 2026, and not while I'm Prime Minister."

"This isn't the finish line. We'll keep building the homes, creating the jobs, and reforming the services to stop people reaching crisis point in the first place."

"All this will help make sure that every person sleeping rough is offered a route off the street and a safe place to stay because, in one of the wealthiest countries in the world, people should not be left to sleep outside with nowhere to turn."

"And I'm putting over £400 million behind a national drive to get everyone in for Christmas. And to put my own money where my mouth is, I'm making my latest salary donation from my PM salary to The Passage in Victoria, an amazing charity I visited on my very first day in Downing Street."

"That's why one of the first commitments I made as Prime Minister was to end rough sleeping. Not manage it. Not reduce it. End it."

🗣️ PM Andy Burnham: "I don't care what anyone says, I believe we can end rough sleeping in Britain. Today is World Homeless Day, and I don't think anyone in this country should be sleeping rough on our streets. Certainly not tonight."

Statement from Downing Street: "Our Chief Mouser Larry is back at Downing Street following a minor operation, and is recovering well. He is feline much better but taking things one paw at a time. We are grateful to the vets for their outstanding care."

🗣️ PM Andy Burnham: "I will build the Britain my dad wanted to see."

🕊️ "Downing Street is saddened to announce the death of Roy Burnham, following a battle with dementia. The Prime Minister has cancelled all engagements for today and tomorrow."
