Prime Minister Andy Burnham is launching a bold, Christmas-before-deadline campaign to end rough sleeping entirely, pledging £442 million and likening it to the national mobilization during the pandemic. While charities applaud the ambition, they warn that temporary housing shortages remain a critical, unaddressed crisis. Burnham insists the sight of people sleeping on the streets shouldn’t be normalized—and believes the public can rally again, just as it did during Covid. Meanwhile, the government is taking over local bus services in the West Midlands to safeguard jobs, clarifying a minor text exchange, and preparing to review early prisoner release. A green energy leader has also surprised by proposing controlled North Sea drilling—a policy shift directly communicated to Burnham.
