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.

new 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?

Rough sleeping = on the streets Homelessness = no permanent home so in a B&B or similar. It means kids who spend their whole childhoods being shunted around, with no living room and in the worst places to live.

A London Assembly investigation in 2024 found that over half of temporary accommodation inspected in London fails their minimum standards, meaning that it is dangerous or otherwise deeply inadequate.

I actually think this is good *politics*, because rough sleeping is what people *see*, so he can do something that makes a visible difference and is relatively achievable. The approach has to be doing easy, high salience things to ensure he gets time to do the harder stuff that takes to deliver.

I think the reverse...that most people hear "ending homelessness" as meaning "ending rough sleeping".
