During the pandemic, they built a number of Nightingale hospitals which were never used in quick time. Surely this kind of thing could be used to house minor offenders and prisoners on early release to avoid them sleeping rough. I know there is a staffing issue but there are already loads of people volunteering and working for ex offenders and the homeless, so surely it would make sense to give them shelter, support snd counselling? Why is there never any joined-up planning? Labour knew they would win this election months ago and should have spent the time planning. Same goes for the black hole, the books were there for all to see, but they seem so far to have banked on Tory unpopularity. They need to get their act together quickly
