Labour council tries to kick homeless people out of Bristol

"Homelessness is neither a disease nor a crime...but a very serious problem" - Timothy Pina View this email in your browser As homelessness has increased over the last few years, councils across the country have struggled to find a solution. Politics.co.uk has reported previously on the ways some have resorted to bans on begging or sleeping rough in certain areas but our first piece today reports that Bristol city council has now taken this one step further. The local authority is in court today trying to obtain an injunction to ban a group of homeless people from sleeping rough or in a vehicle from any publicly owned land in the whole of the city. Elsewhere, we have a piece which looks at Owen Smith's history with the pharmaceutical industry. It suggests that the Labour leadership hopeful still has important questions to answer about his time at Pfizer.
