The City of London came under fire today after a number of homeless people from the cleared St Paul's protest camp moved to the sister site in Finsbury Square.
Local MP Emily Thornberry said it "doesn't seem fair at all" that vulnerable people with drug and alcohol issues have simply shifted to her borough of Islington.
It comes after numbers at the second campsite swelled overnight from around 30-40 tents to at least 70 after bailiffs and police evicted the St Paul's protesters yesterday.
Ms Thornberry said: "If some of them have moved because they're homeless, why have they [the City of London] moved them on to Islington, one of the country's poorest boroughs?" Islington said it was "reluctant" to take legal action to remove the camp because of the costs.
