Badenoch denies housing benefit cuts will make people homeless

Badenoch denies housing benefit cuts will make people homeless

The conservative leader Kemi Badenoch indicated that certain individuals might have to "relocate to more affordable areas" as part of a proposal to reduce housing benefit expenditures by £4 billion. On Wednesday, she stated during an interview on BBC Radio 4's Today program that the party's intention was to "safeguard current renters" and elderly individuals. Conversely, Shelter, an organization dedicated to aiding the homeless, deemed it "impractical for families to relocate to more economical regions."
