Claire Coutinho said she 'wouldn't necessarily use the language' used by Suella Braverman - who has been criticised for describing rough sleeping as a 'lifestyle choice' - saying the reasons for homelessness are 'complex and varied'.
A government minister has contradicted Suella Braverman's description of rough sleeping as a 'lifestyle choice', saying she 'wouldn't necessarily use that language'. Energy Secretary Claire Coutinho appeared to be at odds with the home secretary, who has faced a backlash for describing rough sleeping as a 'lifestyle choice' as she outlined her desire to restrict the use of tents by homeless people in UK towns and cities.
' Labour's shadow leader of the Commons Lucy Powell said it was 'despicable' to describe homelessness as a lifestyle choice and that the government was seeking to divide people. She told Sky News: 'I think the comments of the home secretary are despicable, really.
