“Landlordism is the transfer of wealth from the wage class to the asset class.” 👏

We’re in the middle of a housing crisis and landlords are turning homes into hotels 🤯

They’re not just buying houses and converting them into AirBnBs. They’re renting out homes and subletting them.

The government needs to license holiday lets.

After ACORN Norwich member Mae woke up to the ceiling collapsing onto them, we leaped into action

Organising a member defence team, we got to planning w/ Mae

After a quick action, the landlord responded to fixing the ceiling & offering compensation of ~£615

Get organised, win!

Out in Brixton today talking to local people about their housing and other issues. As usual, lots of people struggling with damp, disrepair, and landlords who aren’t listening. If this is you, get in touch - we might be able to help!

Nothing to see here, just a landlord comparing rental reform to... the witch trials and Nazi Germany.

Jim Ratcliffe is Britain’s richest man.

This week Forbes announced that he got £5bn richer during the cost of living crisis.

Next time you hear a politician say there’s no money for public services, remind them of people like Jim.

Tax. The. Rich.

Today I gatecrashed a BBC TV interview for Swindon Tory council leader David Rennard

He claims the country don’t have money to fulfil the 2019 election pledge to end homelessness

Yet we had money for Dido Harding & Michelle Mone 🤔

Alright John Wick take it easy.

Right to Buy has been disastrous: 40% of council houses sold through it are now owned by landlords, & very few have been replaced.

Thatcher’s policy hasn’t helped working class people own homes, it has transferred rental income from local authorities to landlords💰 #BBCPanorama

ACORN members from all across the country are on the way to London for the @RentersReformCo day of action.

Packed out room at Church House today discussing union power, while others meet with their MPs💪

[Nick Ballard @_NickBallard]

"Housing shouldn't be a pension plan or a financial asset, it should be a place to live and that's what's wrong with the system." Strong words from Housing Minister Rachel MacLean in answering an @AcornBirmingham member. @ACORNunion will make sure the Tories follow through.

[Vicky Spratt @Victoria_Spratt]

Today I moderated a discussion with the new housing minister @redditchrachel & @RentersReformCo🏡 the minister said we will see the end of no fault Section 21 evictions by the autumn🏡 she also said that it is wrong that there is intergenerational inequality in homeownership🏡
