What exactly is “temporary accommodation”? Tents, hostels, b&bs, caravan?

GSM how would it make the problem worse?

Outlawing no fault evictions will simply make the problem worse. Who in their right mind would want to be a private landlord given the proposals?

An OECD report shows that the UK has the highest number, per capita, of homeless people. This is defined as people living in temporary accommodation. Many have been victims of no-fault evictions by private landlords. The UK homelessness figure has doubled since the Conservatives came to power. So proudangrysad!

There’s a useful chart in the Financial Times but it’s behind a paywall - which I don’t pay for! If I can access it by other means, I’ll post it.
