        £2bn is peanuts - it's a pathetic response to a massive problem. Hammond should be ashamed of himself.

        I hope it's ring-fenced so councils can't misappropriate it like the extra funding for schools some years ago.

        @MarrShow @derrickg745 Political numbers some times don't add up under scrutiny.£2bn can become £1.4bn when no one is looking.
