⬇️ Six years on, people across the country are still trapped in unsafe homes.
Still waiting for change.
Still waiting for hope.

Press misunderstandings on this issue are unhelpful for tenants @BBCNews.
The government is NOT abolishing no-fault eviction, only 'no-reason' eviction.
Tenants who have not breached their tenancy can still be evicted through amended eviction grounds.

🚨Lambeth Council have left a family with kids in limbo for 14 months. Now bailiffs are coming next week to throw them and their belongings onto the street.
They were placed by the council in private temporary accommodation in ESSEX. During that time, they told Lambeth multiple times about the Section 21 eviction notices they were getting as the landlord wants the property back. Nothing was done.
Now they’re facing homelessness, and no one is given answers or a plan. I’ve written to the council too. Still no response.

🚨 I spoke to kids from a primary school where 25% of them are homeless, I wanted you to hear directly from them.
Education is the biggest opportunity for children from disadvantaged backgrounds to break free from poverty.
The housing crisis and inaction from Government is denying more than 164,000 kids of this, and new data proves exactly that.
Please share 🙏🏽

Nice snap @EastVillageLDN it’s just a shame that the stacked timber balconies are considered a major fire risk and will have to be removed and replaced…

For the unaware I'm currently serving 3 years in prison for peaceful protest. Just spoke to my lawyer today, I'm going to be appealing the sentencing!
Please share the fundraiser- fingers crossed we get legal aid cover but there may be costs.
