We should help and protect the homeless not ignore them and their human rights. Of course these are hate crimes.
Recognise attacks on #roughsleepers as hate crimes, say experts. Some truly horrific examples here, like placing a lit firework in a homeless person’s pocket. What on earth is wrong with people?!

The great majority of the public want their elected government to feed children who need food over half term and holidays - so why don’t they represent our views and do it - straightaway #NoChildShouldGoHungry.
Paying close attention to the Commons today and to those who are willing to turn a blind eye to the needs of our most vulnerable children, 2.2M of them who currently qualify for Free School Meals. 42% newly registered. Not to mention the 1.5M children who currently don’t qualify.
