Today in Focus · Will Andy Burnham get rough sleepers off streets by Christmas? – The Latest · 19 Aug 2026 podcast

So Burnham has written in The Guardian today that rough sleeping has become so common that it feels almost like a part of the scenery, which I think is a really ugly truth that a lot of us can relate to. voice-verified

And he argues that his government voice-verified

could mobilise and do the same thing that we saw during the COVID pandemic in which rough sleepers were taken off the street en masse across the country. voice-verified

Patrick, how possible is this to do in a sustainable way and what will it look like under the offer that he has made to local authorities? voice-verified

short term solution though, right? voice-verified

Yeah. voice-verified

Which which at the very least we have. voice-verified

Uh, what kind of numbers are we talking here? 'Cause we can all see that rough sleeping in the last decade. voice-verified

We can visibly see with our own eyes that it seems to have gone up everywhere across the UK. voice-verified

But do we have any sense of what those numbers look like? voice-verified

Right. voice-verified

And Burnham I mean it's fair to say he does have a track record here because as mayor of Greater Manchester he pledged to end s rough sleeping there. voice-verified

Patrick, how did that pan out? voice-verified

And is it a model that could be replicated across the country? voice-verified

Patrick, why do you think the problem has become so big in Britain? voice-verified

Because we are the world's voice-verified

Fifth largest economy and yet we seem to have the worst record on homelessness in the Western world. voice-verified

And of course that i includes the number of people who are living in temporary accommodation. voice-verified

But how did we get here? voice-verified

Cardboard City and that sort of thing. voice-verified
