Landlords don’t live in the real world. They actually expect us to by sympathetic that it’s slightly harder for them to turf families out onto the street.

Great article by Fadumo Farah : "Some in leadership treated us like pawns. But we weren’t pawns. We were parents, nurses, neighbours, workers and people who noticed. And over time, residents saw exactly who was fighting for them...

"It wasn’t photo ops or promises. It was people knocking doors in the rain. Translating letters. Sitting with elders who were scared. That was ACORN." bristol247.com/opinion/your-s…

Come see us next week!

The Labour Party won the last election promising to immediately abolish Section 21 evictions. Over a year later we’re still waiting.

Every council home sold without replacement deepens the housing crisis. Selling off our safety net while people face record waits and sky-high rents is indefensible. We need a government that will build public homes and protect them for the future not continue to sell them off!
