Outrageous this Govt has backtracked on its promise to address crippling rent rises with a bill that allows rent tribunals to actually *increase* rents beyond the amount landlords initially asked for - a massive disincentive against tenants bringing a case.

[2024-04-24 17:55 UTC]

It is utterly deplorable that nearly 1 million people have been issued S21 no fault eviction notices since the Govt pledged to ban them 5 years ago.

[2024-04-24 17:31 UTC]

The brass neck of this Govt trying to duck responsibility for breaking 5-year old promise to ban no fault evictions as they cave in to landlord lobbying.

1 in 4 households renting are living in fuel poverty - and it's no surprise given renters live in some of the coldest, draughtiest homes in the country. I’ve put down this amendment to insist on improved standards to end this scandal and ensure everyone has a warm, decent home👇

Heading to the Chamber to do all I can to stand up to this failing & faithless Government breaking their promises to renters. One of the amendments I put down tries to get them to address the scandal of high rents with a desperately needed system of rent controls.

👀 List of Tories supporting one of the key amendments to water down the Renters Reform Bill. What does the (R) by names mean? Registered interests. Looks like landlords turning out in force to scupper a bill that was meant to protect renters' interests, not their own finances

RT by @CarolineLucas: Our business sec wants us to believe that the past was all about free markets and hard work, because if you looked at empire, you might just notice how much of our current economic model is still based on monopoly renterism + precarious labour

I read Keir Starmer’s recent article claiming Labour is the true party of English patriotism with rising disbelief, both at his lack of vision for our country, and also his apparent reluctance to even name it. My piece in

Starmer’s claim that Labour is the true party of English patriotism would be more persuasive if he didn’t muddle English & British throughout whole article. They’re not the same & I explore implications for English identity in my new book
