Sack Robert Watt!
All more important than This rubbish. Put it to a vote first....
A stark message from Shelter Scotland for the new First Minister today. Scotland is in a #HousingEmergency and we need action now. Tired old policies from a tired old government simply won’t work.
Business Leaders like @sirtomhunter recognising that we are in a #HousingEmergency . It seems the only ones in denial are the SNP Government. We need a plan to build more homes now, not more discussion and delay.
New #WestMidlands Mayor Richard Parker took victory with a promise to put #SocialHomes at the ‘heart’ of his plans: bbc.com/news/election/…
Its clear voters in the West Midlands are demanding politicians commit to REAL tangible action to end the #HousingEmergency .
We will not be ignored.
Brilliant work by Shelter Merseyside 👇🏻 Tell all party leaders they must commit to ending the #HousingEmergency if they want your vote: shltr.org.uk/vfglk
📣 You have the opportunity to let The City of Edinburgh Council know your views on what the key housing priorities are for Edinburgh for the years ahead. This is at a time when no new affordable homes to be approved in Edinburgh this year due to cuts, despite declaring a #HousingEmergency ....
Along with 100+ other organisations, we have signed an open letter to John Swinney calling on him to put the Human Rights Bill at the heart of his new government's agenda rb.gy/8h0b5k
The 10,000 children stuck in temporary accommodation need a home #HousingEmergency
Disappointing to see Housing overlooked for a seat at the Cabinet table during a national #housingemergency .
@johnswinney has rightly made eradicating child poverty his priority - he can't do that without finding a home for the 10,000 kids in temporary accommodation right now.
With Scotland facing a worsening #HousingEmergency , it's disappointing that new First Minister John Swinney has nobody at his cabinet table who is focussed solely on housing.

New #NorthEast Mayor Kim McGuinness has won votes with her pledges to provide social homes 👏🏽
It’s now time for all political parties to follow suit and pledge to provide funding to all regions to build the social homes that are essential to ending the #HousingEmergency .
West Dunbartonshire joins Glasgow, Edinburgh, Fife and Argyll and Bute in declaring a #HousingEmergency . An opportunity for new FM, John Swinney, to do the same and put in place a clear plan to build more homes.
Millions of children in England don't have anywhere safe and decent to call home.
We’ve signed National Housing Federation' letter to Rishi Sunak, Keir Starmer and Ed Davey asking them to commit to a long-term #PlanForHousing
We can solve the #HousingEmergency

10/10 storytelling. A #housingemergency “rallying call” says Shelter. Ed Cox MD of co-creator Yonder Media says: “‘Made in social housing’ celebrates the playgrounds & homes that have made so many people who they are & highlights how communities benefit from social housing.”
Congratulations John Swinney on your appointment as new First Minister of Scotland.
We would welcome an open discussion with you on how at this critical time for Scotland, you plan to address the #HousingEmergency and 10K children in temp accommodation.

As the Cabinet Member for Housing at Rochdale Borough Council, I’m excited by Andy Burnham announcement. In #Rochdale Borough we declared a #HousingEmergency , these policies will help increase social housing stock and will decrease our allocation waiting list!
