What is the true cost of Britain’s housing emergency?
This is the shocking story of Britain’s appalling housing crisis as it has never been told before – through the people stuck in its grip, living in barely believable and totally unliveable conditions, from children brought up in hostels and bedsits to working people sleeping in tents and even their own cars.
Delving into the investigative work that began in a council tower block in Croydon and ended in the Houses of Parliament with changes to the law, Left to Rot exposes who is heard and who is ignored, where money is spent, where it is cut and what it tells us about Britain today.
This book exposes the long-term damage of short-term political thinking at the heart of British government, and lays bare the human cost of the catastrophic and ultimately counterproductive policy of rolling back the state in crucial areas of public life that matter most to people.

Daniel Hewitt is Investigations Editor for ITV News and has spent the last three and a half years investigating Britain’s housing crisis, focusing on social housing and homelessness. These investigations have directly led to nine inquiries and investigations by the UK Parliament, Welsh Government, Regulator for Social Housing, Housing Ombudsman for England, National Housing Federation and the Chartered Institute for Housing. They have also led to a change in the law on social housing. He gave evidence in Parliament to MPs on the Levelling Up, Housing and Communities committee.
In 2022 and 2024 he was named Royal Television Society Special Journalist of the Year for his work on housing and homelessness. His work on homelessness was also awarded the Royal Television Society award for best Home News Coverage in 2024. He has been nominated for the Orwell Prize three times for his reporting.
Daniel has produced and presented four ITV documentaries on the subject, including the award-winning Surviving Squalor: Britain’s Housing Shame, Losing Your Home: The True Cost and Life and Debt: Stories from the Edge.
Previously he worked as a political correspondent and interviewed Michael Gove, Angela Rayner, Lisa Nandy, Rishi Sunak and Keir Starmer.
