Great article by @kiranstacey on the housing crisis. As @a_darling_tom says, "it is maddening" to see the government's neglect of the Renters (Reform) bill, one of the key levers at its disposal, while records are being broken for child homelessness. theguardian.com/society/2024/a…
Delivered! We took your message to Number 10 to tell the government; this version of the #RentersReformBill is a betrayal. Renters demand better. It’s time to overhaul the Bill and listen to them. 138,514 people will not stand for a Bill that fails renters.
Landlords are growing ever-wealthier because the the number of *children* in temporary accommodation is now greater than the population of York, and the state is paying through the nose for it. You honestly start to wonder why the IMF doesn't intervene in British politics.

Council letter tells a 56-year-old woman due to be evicted on 1 May that she should be able to "function reasonably well" if she ends up on the streets. This is terrible. And the govt is set to criminalize rough sleeping. What has the country become? bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

After yesterday’s debate, along with the @RentersReformCo, we believe the #RentersReformBill is no longer fit for purpose. In our latest blog, @j_davies92 outlines the changes renters need to see: nationwidefoundation.org.uk/the-renters-re…
Our supporter Jen from Torbay - who's had two no fault evictions in the last couple years - explained on @BBCWorldatOne yesterday why the watered down Renters (Reform) Bill doesn't deliver for renters. If it isn't improved, renters will look to the next government to get it done.
The Renters "Reform" Bill says: 1. renters get 2 months' notice of eviction - same as now 2. 6 months protection from eviction at the start of a tenancy - same as now 3. landlords have wide discretion to evict - same as now It's no surprise landlords support it!
Now Shadow Minister @mtpennycook standing to put forward the opposition's amendments. Pennycook calls the legislation "shamefully overdue" and says "we remain firmly of the view that the Bill is not yet fit for purpose, and must be strengthened to the benefit of renters". [12/]
PMQs kicking off with @AngelaRayner pressing @OliverDowden on when the Government actually plans to abolish section 21 evictions. 1. We need a date not an indefinite kicking of the can down the road. 2. They need to actually be abolished, not just in name only.
The Renters (Reform) Bill does NOT honour the promise ‘to protect tenants’ made in the Queen’s Speech after the most recent #GeneralElection, back in December 2019
Rents are rising again. Faster than wages. Faster than inflation. We already know what the solutions to this crisis are. What we need is the mass power to force the government to put our human rights above profit. Join the fight and get involved: londonrentersunion.org
RENTERS (REFORM) BILL BACK NEXT WEEK Today's business statement confirmed report stage will be Wednesday 24th. Renters have been waiting five years for reform - they deserve a Bill that's worth the wait. Stay tuned...
Great work by RRC partner @38degrees - showing overwhelming majorities of the public back more rights for renters, and would see an indefinite delay to ending no-fault evictions as the government breaking its promise. Will the government listen? inews.co.uk/news/politics/…
As @DAHAlliance raise here the 6 months ‘tenant trap’ introduced to the Renters (Reform) Bill by the govt poses huge risks around domestic violence. It could force victims to live with their abusers – unable to flee and legally liable for 6 months' rent. It must be removed. 1/2

Five years ago, the gov made a pledge to ban section 21 evictions. Since then, over 84,000 households have faced the real threat of homelessness. As time passes, the urgency of this issue grows. Renters deserve a stable and secure home and we need to see immediate action now.

@PhinHarper @croncobaurul Particularly bold that two of the four photos are some of the most popular, busy places in London
@thdyoung Indeed. But I do think we need to work harder to call out his type's classist nonsense.
@PhinHarper Agreed. Recently visited Bevin court to see Lubetkin’s staircase and a number of residents stopped to chat and tell us how proud they were of the fact people came to see it.
@Francis_Hoar You're welcome to come round any time to chat to my neighbours about the reality of living in a modern estate. Until then keep your obnoxious patronising assumptions about the tastes and agency of others to yourself. Thanks.
On the other hand, ask folks what they love about the estate and they'll tell you about they like how light the flats are, the number of mature trees and how there are plenty of car-free places for children to play – in other words, the design. This offensive nonsense has to stop
One of the things I have learned from living in two modernist council estates (Brownfields Estate by Goldfinger and Vanbrugh Park Estate by Chamberlin Powell & Bon) is just how wrong this gross and patronising nonsense that working class people can't appreciate good design is.
IMO the biggest thing holding back mass building and development in the UK is that the last time the UK went on an enormous surge of building, they built stuff like this. Architects like this stuff, normal people hate it:
Not to quote the Bible at you, but the book of James slaps.
And a weary sigh from housing lawyers. Everyone not involved in the sector is shocked and startled when they encounter what the homelessness rules actually are, but assume it is a one off bad decision and then nothing changes.
Council letter tells a 56-year-old woman due to be evicted on 1 May that she should be able to "function reasonably well" if she ends up on the streets. This is terrible. And the govt is set to criminalize rough sleeping. What has the country become? bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…
yesterday, as i was moving the final things out of my home following my eviction, a guy turned up who turned out to be the new tenant. turns out the landlord has bumped the rent by *£700*. a 30% increase. the greed and cruelty of landlords in this country is outrageous.
People getting onto me for my lack of knowledge around London bridges so I’ve done some reading. Did you know Waterloo Bridge is also called ‘the Ladies' Bridge', as i65% of the construction workers responsible for building it were women. Big up the gyal dem
Pointing out that courts are processing repossessions within their targets, Conservative @NatalieElphicke rightly calls the govt's amendment indefinitely delaying the end of S21 a ‘delaying tactic’, saying for that reason she is “unable to support this today”.
I spoke at @KateOsborneMP's Lesbian Visibility Day debate in Parliament. I'm honoured to call @LindaRiley8, @DIVAmagazine founder and brains behind this day, a friend. We can fight for fairness and equality for all groups no matter how you identify - you can be an ally too.
@marty_mcd The same recently that he said s.21 would definitely be abolished before the election? Because he isn’t saying that now.
Extraordinary that the Tory candidate for Mayor doesn’t think London’s 2.7m renters need more protection. @SadiqKhan will work with a Labour government to deliver a New Deal for Renters, including more legal rights and protections.
As the Renters Reform Bill returns to Parliament this week, I asked Tory mayoral candidate Susan Hall yesterday whether renters have enough rights at the moment. She said there is “no one answer” to that question
Today Margate residents stopped the Home Office from taking 22 asylum seekers from a local “contingency accommodation” to the Bibby Stockholm barge. Incredible “unity in community” indeed ❤️
