00:00 140,000 children are homeless this Christmas, and he is utterly tone deaf. The rise in homelessness
00:07 shows how these Tory crises merge and grow and damage the country. Families such as the
00:13 Braidys in Wiltshire, both parents working full-time with two young children, forced
00:20 out of their home of 15 years by a no-fault eviction, are now living in their van. Or
00:26 11-year-old Liam Walker, homeless this Christmas. He wrote a letter to Santa saying, "Please
00:34 can I have a forever home? I don't want any new toys, I just want all my old toys out
00:41 of storage. I just want us to be happy again." Is there anything that could shame this Government
00:49 into putting the country first than it's surely this little boy?
00:56 If he really cared about building homes—[Interruption.] No, no, no. If he really cared about building
01:04 homes, when there was an opportunity in this House to back our plans to reform defective
01:12 EU laws and unlock 100,000 new homes, what did he do? He went in front of the cameras
01:20 and said one thing, and came in here and blocked it. Typical, shameless opportunism.
