But Starmer whinged about his kid and took a house off the bloke who bankrolls him.

Some councils in England are facing a “tsunami” of homelessness as more and more families need help and end up in often unsuitable temporary accommodation, MPs have heard. A family having been moved seven times to different hotels in just three weeks, and a child doing homework on a cardboard box were among the experiences outlined at a parliamentary committee. By law, B&Bs are meant to be used only for families in an emergency, and for no longer than six weeks, but the figures showed 3,250 households with children had been there for longer than that.
The first day of the committee’s inquiry into the quality of temporary accommodation and pressures on local authority finances in England heard that many councils have faced a “rapid increase” in people coming to them for homelessness help and often been unable to cope.
Dr Laura Neilson, chief executive of the Shared Health Foundation, said there must be a lowest acceptable standard set for temporary accommodation, something she said is “not very clear at the moment”. She said: “I would like the Government to consider what is reasonable.
“Is a caravan reasonable to bring up your children the middle of January? You know, is a converted office block reasonable? Is moving from one B&B to another B&B to another B&B so that every four or five weeks you move, is that reasonable? “Is it reasonable – one of the families I saw last week had moved seven times in three weeks through different hotels across the city region, and then the mum had been fined for school attendance. Like, is that reasonable?”
