The UK Home Secretary, Suella Braverman, has faced widespread criticism for her vow to crackdown on the use of tents by the homeless and her labeling of rough sleeping as a "lifestyle choice." Critics accuse her of disgraceful politics and blame-shifting. Charities and former MPs have condemned her proposal to fine charities providing tents to the homeless. Homelessness charity Shelter emphasizes that living on the streets is not a choice but a consequence of failed government policies.
