2/2 immense distress & we watched the nurses that were there working under immense stress. #Badenoch needs to intro rent controls to limit rent instead but she won’t do that as landlords vote Tory (worked in homelessness for decades)

#Badenoch on radio just now saying she would not raise the Local Housing Allowance as “people should not live where they can’t afford it.” Thing is tho, in London, when my mum was dying & we spent long hours/days in A&E they were only half staffed as nurses couldn’t afford to live. Mum suffered 1/2

I’d rather concentrate on net zero to ensure my descendants can live reasonable lives than save £500 tax - however hard it is to afford things right now. We should, I think, reverse the effects of Thatcher & brexit. #labour speaking for me right now. There’s hope at last. I hope.

#bbcaq #anyanswers real concern in callers re climate change & “what to do”. Yet I despair as a new family in the road have taken out an orchard in the back garden & replaced with paving & astroturf. Do people realise too that many asylum seekers are forced out of their homes by climate change 😳
