Amanda Redman speaks out on homelessness and hostility to migrants - and her hopes for new PM

Amanda Redman, a three-time BAFTA-nominated actor and MBE recipient, expresses concerns over rising homelessness and societal hostility toward migrants in London. She notes an increase in visible homelessness, particularly among rough sleepers, and criticizes anti-migrant sentiment, especially toward those risking dangerous journeys to reach the UK. Redman references official data showing a record 4,793 people slept rough in England in 2025, marking four consecutive years of growth. She expresses hope that new Prime Minister Andy Burnham, who visited a homeless shelter, will address the issue effectively. Redman also reflects on the emotional toll of witnessing migrants' struggles and emphasizes the need for compassion.
