That our Home Secretary would describe this as a lifestyle choice is disgraceful. Though I was warm & dry, it’s going to be a hard days work today

What an impressive young man. @KwajoHousing I salute you but still think you deserve an MBE!
Housing activist @KwajoHousing has turned down MBE in Kings #BirthdayHonoursList ‘off the back’ of the 2017 #Grenfell tragedy and a #housingcrisis which he says ‘should never have existed’. Title or no title, he remains a hero of mine. #ukhousing

ALT We have a visceral reaction to the idea that anyone would make very much money helping other people. Interesting that we don't have a visceral reaction to the notion that people would make a lot of money not helping other people. Dan Pallotta

A fantastic summary of the links between housing and health….. AND poverty “Housing impacts health in three main ways: quality, security and affordability. ….. [and] your health doesn’t only depend on how you live but also where you live.” #HousingForAll
