The Guardian view on temporary accommodation bills: short-term fixes must be backed up by housebuilding | Editorial

Liverpool council’s success in negotiating with landlords is a model of how to save to invest in housing Local authorities are experiencing some of the highest temporary accommodation bills on record. Councils in England spent £2.8bn last year on homeless accommodation – a 25% increase on the year before and a 100% increase since 2020. How did the bill get so high? The government’s redistribution of social housing stock from public to private hands is largely to blame. Instead of creating the “p

Do the British left’s hopes lie with the Greens, Labour or even Your Party? The answer could be all three | Joe Todd

No single organisation can deliver the change that socialists want. As Nigel Farage has shown, politics has to be ruthlessly tactical For the long-marginalised British left, parliamentary byelections aren’t usually cause for much excitement.

Neighbour does not hate neighbour in Gorton and Denton. That’s why Labour will beat Reform | Angeliki Stogia

We see Thursday’s byelection as a straight fight between us and Farage’s poisonous politics. I think people will vote for each other – and for hope Angeliki Stogia is the Labour candidate in Gorton and Denton Manchester has always been a place shaped by solidarity, by the belief that what you contribute matters more than where you come from, and by a quiet but unshakeable pride in looking out for one another. Some people are born here, others are drawn here, but, after more than 30 years of ca

I have seen the scale of the mountain Labour has to climb in Gorton and Denton – but also the way it can do it | Polly Toynbee

In focus groups, people are clear they want to stop Farage at all costs. Labour must now reach out to the progressives it has disappointed The great gulf between left and right yawns deeper and wider. One way or another, the Gorton and Denton byelection this week will reveal this profound tribal divide. Those in the progressive bloc – Labour, Lib Dem, Green, SNP, Plaid – are very different kinds of people to the blues, with diametrically opposed attitudes. In more centrist days there was some sh
