Big piece in the FT this week building on the argument that I and a few others have been making against the tide for years: the British housing crisis is not caused by a lack of houses getting built. ft.com/content/d9050d…

We won the Judicial Review overturning planning for 181 houses, saving ancient woodland and 405 species. Victory for wildlife and inspiration for other groups. Here’s what the judge said: @ChrisGPackham @ChidswellGroup @WildlifeTrusts #wildlife

This is terrible. How could they ignore health and safety. Not good enough. All sorts of hygiene issues are present here. It's a shame. It's not acceptable at all @hackneycouncil @mayorofhackney @hackneyLRU #London

"London can be a place where community thrives, rather than a playground for rich people." We asked lifelong Londoners what is happening to our city and everyone gave the same answer. The rich are squeezing ordinary people out to make huge profits. We must resist.

Private developers building expensive flats will not fix the housing crisis. We need public housing and rent controls to take wealth and power away from the super-rich and put it back in the hands of our communities. 🔗 ft.com/content/d9050d…

LRU member Joe on @LBC yesterday explaining how we tax landlords fairly while keeping down rents for tenants. There's no way out of the housing crisis without rent controls.

Tens of millions spent on "incentives" for private landlords to house homeless families. This is on top of the billions spent on temporary accommodation. We should be reducing private profiteering and spending public money on public homes.

We cannot fix the housing crisis by handing our communities over to Wall Street investors. Data shows rents rising faster in London boroughs with lots of expensive "Build-to-Let" developments. We must build an alternative to corporate profiteers: public homes and rent control.

Disastrous. After decades of austerity, our communities cannot afford to lose any more. We need investment in public homes and public services - not the further plundering of our shared resources.

Working people who actually contribute to our society pay NI. It's outrageous that landlords don't have to pay this tax on their unearned income. But unless we have rent controls as well, landlords will try to push these costs onto tenants through massive rent hikes.

Important article from LRU member Siobhán Dhònnchaidh in @tribunemagazine about how "YIMBYism" represents a continuation of our rigged system. Private developers won't fix the housing crisis. We need public housing in our back yards. tribunemag.co.uk/2025/08/public…

A country run for landlord, by landlords. It's a complete conflict of interest that those tasked with tackling the housing crisis are benefitting from struggling tenants. It's time to kick the landlords out of parliament. the-independent.com/politics/labou…

London urgently needs rent control. Rent control would give us all more security, more control over our lives, and more money to spend on the things that really matter and make life worth living. We must fight to take back wealth and power from the landlord class.
