🚨 Every year, thousands in England are pushed deeper into poverty because their local council chooses to send bailiffs over unpaid council tax. It’s a cruel, outdated practice that helps no one - except the private bailiff companies cashing in on people in hardship (🧵…)

Bradford + Leeds = unstoppable 💪 After our members were threatened and put in a headlock on the first action, we joined ACORN Bradford to stand-up to Locate Properties bullies and demand an apology. Instead, we received a full temper tantrum and some cringy dance moves!

Renter's union Acorn have taken over a bailiffs meeting because, well, fuck bailiffs. If you hate wankers - which is what the Canary style guide insists we call bailiffs - then ACORN the union has a protest for you today, writes joe glenton new era thecanary.co/trending/2025/…

🔥 Today, 300 ACORN members from across England and Wales travelled to Leeds and shut down a conference that hosted some of Britain’s biggest bailiff firms.

This is the first national action in our Bailiff Free Britain campaign, but it won’t be the last. We’ll keep fighting until we’ve ended the policy of using bailiffs to collect council tax debt across the country💪 Get involved and join ACORN today: acorntheunion.org.uk/join

ACORN members from across England and Wales converged on Aspire in Leeds to protest local council’s use of bailiffs to collect council tax debt.

So proud of our members shutting down the bailiff conference in Leeds today ✊ A BAILIFF FREE BRITAIN IS IN SIGHT! Be a part of the fight: acorntheunion.org.uk/join/

C'est magnifique !!!

I love this ✊️

Excellent work

🚨GREAT NEWS FOR RENTERS🚨 Last night, we defeated last-ditch amendments that would have weakened tenants' rights and shifted power back towards landlords. The Bill now just needs sign-off from the Commons (and the King) before becoming the Renters' Rights Act!

🔥 The days of bailiffs & debt collectors sitting around at conferences, enjoying a buffet, & discussing how to line their pockets at our expense are over. You turn up at our door, we’ll turn up at yours. 🔗 Join the fight for a Bailiff Free Britain: acorntheunion.org.uk/bailiffs/

NEW CASE LAUNCHED ✊🚩 Our members Liberty and Sam live in a flat with damp, leaks and pest problems 😱 They've been complaining to managing agent Austin Rees for at least 2 and a half years, but basically nothing has been done!

Curious to see how we keep bad landlords in place? Come to our AGM- we ll be celebrating our ACORN year and planning for the future! We do this by 1. Electing our new committee 🗳 2. Selecting our new local campaign 💡 3. Setting up the Welsh St residents association 👥

🚨 This is a huge victory for the organised tenant movement after YEARS of organising. We need to go further, and we’ll keep fighting for more, but the biggest change to renters rights in a generation is worth celebrating. This wasn’t handed to us from above, we won it💪
