imageThis is a truly amazing picture, captured by NASA’s Terra satellite yesterday, as Britain continues to freeze to as low as –21C – almost as cold as the South Pole.

Never mind school closures and rail delays, we should  be helping the homeless who rely on night shelters for a bed, like Jimmy’s in Cambridge. I often see them queuing there at night waiting for the doors to open. Lots of them are young people.

Emergency measures need to be to set up in towns and cities to provide the homeless with accommodation and hot food as night shelters are bursting at the seams right now. We cannot turn a blind eye and allow them to freeze to death on the streets. We need to care for all vulnerable members of society when they need it most.
