Andy Burnham
Andy Burnham announced that funding for the UK rough‑sleeping programme has been doubled to £874 m, adding £432 m in the March 2027 Budget. The plan, headed at Downing Street, aims to give every rough sleeper a route into accommodation by Christmas and continue support through the end of the Parliament. The government has deployed specialist outreach teams, built new bed spaces in Coventry, Plymouth and Camden, and is working with housing associations to secure at least 2 000 potential homes. Rough‑sleeping figures stand at 4 793 people on a single night in autumn 2025. Burnham has stated that Britain will not accept rough sleeping and calls on businesses, charities and local leaders to help deliver lasting solutions.} ]} Andy Burnham created the Office for the Prime Minister and Cabinet Andy Burnham wants the UK Budget to cut standing charges from gas bills.
