Which is the most absurd? A stranger owns your house and you have to pay them personal profit on top of housing costs OR The council owns your house and you pay only the amount it costs to run (much cheaper) with any profit going into the local council to fund local projects

Roma people say being positive is being Mishto and doing good is doing Mishto! The #MishtoCampaign is all about services being and doing Mishto, and providing fair access to services for Roma people. Find out more, including ways to support here: tinyurl.com/rywjx37s

The Eades in Walthamstow - two relatively newly built blocks in an area of massive housing need. But when I pass by at night, almost all the lights are off. Where is everyone?

109 kids are falling into poverty every day because of the two-child limit. The government must scrap it for all children. Please share.

We were delighted that Gordon Brown addressed our 60th anniversary event yesterday. In his speech, he said: 'One group of people who have suffered the biggest cut in living standards is the poorest families in our country, partly because of the two-child rule.' 1/2

Since the ban on ‘no fault’ evictions was first promised in 2019, over 100,000 private tenants have had their lives torn up by a Section 21 eviction. Renters need to know when the ban will actually come into force. It can't come soon enough. crisis.org.uk/media/tn1i1hjf… Crisis
