Holiday lets are pricing locals out of their own communities.

Every month renters send a huge chunk of their income to their landlord. It creates a sense of an economic system rigged against us. Labour must stop soaring rents from crushing the very voters that put them in power.

This house tax pretending is making me more insane than usual because as a renter I’ve had to move every 1-3 years just as standard because rents always rise. And no one cares. House owners get a tiny fraction of that precarity and suddenly it’s the worst thing that’s ever happened

Soon S21 evictions, which have forced millions of people out of their homes for no reason & with just 2 months notice, will be a thing of the past.
This is what our movement can achieve when we stand together.
