Common sense prevails.

MPs voted decisively 319 to 23 to reject Lib Dem Amendment 120 seeking a referendum on the final Brexit agreement.

Labour were told to abstain but this time Caroline Flint and John Mann were the ones to defy Corbyn and vote with the government against a second referendum. Kate Hoey and Frank Field obeyed their whip and abstained. On the Tory side even veteran Remainer Ken Clarke voted with the government against a second referendum.

My point about other countries is to highlight that this issue is not always due to govt policies and there is no obvious correlation to the wealth or size of the country.
The number of homeless is around double in Germany. It's a similar percentage to the UK in Sweden and France.
All countries struggle with reducing the number of homeless. Instead of just criticising, as I asked before - who is getting it right?
