The UK’s Labour party leader has called the soaring homelessness in the country a disgrace.
Jeremy Corbyn blamed the Tory government’s austerity policies for the deteriorating problem.
“It’s a disgrace that young and often vulnerable people are among the hardest-hit from the government’s cuts to welfare — cuts that make it far harder for people facing homelessness to get back on their feet,” he said.
The comment came after official figures showed that nearly 69-thousand of British families had to stay in bed-and-breakfast lodging and other temporary housing between July and September.
