In the next 5 years we'll hand £70bn in housing benefit (HB) to private landlords. In some parts of the country, over £1 in every £3 in ALL rent paid is paid through HB. Around £1 in every £5 in HB goes to landlords providing homes that are poor quality, or even hazardous.⬇️
🗣️ Private landlords are capitalising on the housing crisis leaving taxpayers and local councils to foot the bill for poor quality properties. 📒 Our latest report sets out how socialisation can – in targeted ways – play an important role in solving the housing crisis 🔽 (1/10)

🚨 Awaab's Law consultation ends soon. I've made an animated video covering all details. Can you lend a hand by sharing this thread of videos & links? Critical for social housing tenants to know about the consultation and engage with it if they can. (1/3🧵)

Government will hand £58 billion of public money to private landlords over the next 4 yrs. That's 5x more than spending on new affordable homes! Renter or not, we're all paying the price for the privatisation of our housing system. Build social homes! inews.co.uk/news/conservativ…

Communal ownership seems to work well for active shared outside space - @RUSSLewisham
More interesting Q is - how do you create shared outside space that’s genuinely used & feels ‘owned’ by people living there. Unfortunately London is full of dead, disused alienating communal space. Bits of grass plonked out of good intention but end up feeling threatening
