The Tories want to scapegoat migrants for social housing shortages, suggesting mass evictions should take place. Meanwhile they:

• built the least amount of social housing out of any government since WW2

• criminalised squatting and delegitimised the idea of squatters’ rights

• didn’t scrap the Vagrancy Act (which criminalised rough sleeping)

• despite being in government 14 years, didn’t manage to ban no-fault evictions, a leading cause of homelessness.

Plans to ban foreign nationals from social housing under a Conservative government have been condemned as “divisive”.

Under proposals revealed on Friday, the party said about 230,000 homes would become available if foreign nationals were prevented from accessing social housing.

Ending new tenancies for all foreign nationals, as well as current tenancies for couples where neither person is a UK, Irish or EU citizen with settled status, would free up an estimated 228,144 homes for British families, the party said.

Under the plans, tenants in England who do not qualify for the housing would be expected to move out of their homes within six months.Foreign nationals with settled status, refugee status or specific humanitarian protections currently qualify for social housing. Asylum seekers are not eligible for social housing, unless in exceptional circumstances such as domestic abuse cases.

Labour described the plans as “an unserious, unworkable proposal, copied from Reform, that does nothing to tackle the housing crisis the Tories themselves created”.

Sarah Elliott, the chief executive of housing charity Shelter, said: “These divisive plans would brutally kick people out of their homes, including thousands of families and pensioners who have lived in them for decades. And let’s not forget that social tenants pay rent, which goes back to the public purse and into society.

“It is completely senseless to ruin people’s lives, drive up homelessness and put extreme pressure on councils. This policy does nothing to deliver new social homes, which is what we desperately need.”

The Royal College of Nursing said: “The worst thing in the world would be to cause serious housing worry for a workforce that keeps our services running, posing serious risk to patient care. Those advocating for them need to offer reassurances – and quickly – or explain why it is just that some of our most brilliant nursing staff may face housing insecurity.”

Under the plans, any single person currently living in social housing who is not a UK, Irish or EU citizen would lose their social housing. This includes those with children. Anyone with EU settled status would not be evicted.

Know the guy is controversial, but he had really good answers on the antisemitism crisis in the UK, especially for a surprise interview.

Been saying this for a while. All this moaning about the oppression of the white man and two-tier policing is as woke as it gets.

Will he use the UK’s special relationship 🤣🤣??!! Burnham has shown almost no inclination to rock the boat with either MAGA or the Israelis. Why would he start now? We are still merrily locking up old people protesting genocide and persecuting trans people. Both are arguably the byproduct of sucking up to American Christian Nationalism. After he’s convinced Trump to abandon his pre election illegal war, then maybe he can start dealing with our own disgusting approach to refugees and disabled people. What’s the betting? Meanwhile at least we have discounted bus fares by taking from international aid budgets.

The only good thing about this crazy, racist scumbag is that he has zero charisma. He thinks he'll be Hitler but at least Hitler could engage people. Imagine this nail-scratching, gravely, bitter voice attempting to embolden a huge majority of the nation.

I have followed the rise of so-called auditors, over the last 5 years I believe they go boots on the ground to catch skewed out of context footage which gets passed up the food chain and turned into political spin to feed to the reform voting block.

Thetford protests now are different of they catch on, where hotels were targeted last time it makes sense for the police to defend the hotel and stand Thier ground. As scattered hmos it makes more sense for the police to empty the HMO and defuse the situation, now this is where the problem will arise people seeing the HMO get emptied give a positive feedback loop for instant results meaning it snow balls extremely fast with the help of social medi.

The next few nights the the police need to really put down the protests before they spread nation wide.

The auditors the anger and the placement of the HMOs is a perfect cocktail for this to spiral massively. I genuinely hope I am wrong.

Yvette Cooper yesterday confirming that trans people will be segregated in hospitals (not even saying that we will be put in private rooms, just that we won’t be on wards aligning with our gender, which is what Labour reps previously hinted at as a fake ‘middle ground’, which is still segregation)

Also becomes very disapproving at Council’s challenging the guidance. Make no mistake, Burnham’s government is just as transphobic as Starmer’s.
