I’m against actions by foreign states that undermine our economy during a punishing cost of living crisis, obviously,

I recognise her as one of the homeless people around St Albans.
I’d had a bad experience trying to help a homeless person before. Several years later, I found myself a day from homeless myself a couple of times in one year... Can happen to anyone down on their luck.
