Burnham's big pledge will be *heard* as ending homelessness (380,000 people). It's not. It's ending rough sleeping (5,000 people). A good thing but much easier to achieve. This is exactly the sort of over hyping that has come back to bite so many other recent politicians.
Jill Rutternew big commitment - ending rough sleeping. We did it during the pandemic (but lots of hotel places available). He's not managed in Gtr Manchester. But he may want to draw on the experience of Tony Blair's rough sleepers unit - a call to Louise Casey whose first entry into govt that was?
