It's time we did something about rip-off rents - and my amendment to the Renters' Rights Bill would do just that. My column for @metro.co.uk ⬇️ #RentControls #GenerationRent

I’m sick of landlords treating renters like cash cows
It’s only fair that if the accommodation renters are being provided with isn’t decent, they shouldn’t be forced to pay for it.

People going on about the falling turnout numbers not factoring that if you rent as many people under 45 do, you might have to move 4 or 5 times between elections. Doesn't bode well for voter registration. #GE24 #GenerationRent

As a member of #GenerationRent I've finally done the (almost) impossible. I've bought a bloody house!

LHAs cover around 50-60% of market rents. The exploitation of private renters is scandalous.
Build more social housing NOW, Labour.
Safe and secure housing is a right for all

Excellent idea - more local authorities should do the same if they can.

Disappointing. LibDems have sometimes been better attuned to needs of drug users + the need for policies that reduce harm. Those of them on the London Assembly (maybe some think otherwise, elsewhere) also appear to be aligning themselves with landlords, not renters. #HarmReduction #GenerationRent

The kids woke me up at 1pm! I'd slept for 15 hours and I feel...normal. Like I used to before #LongCOVID.

And it's just as well because after a stressful week at work, I now have to get the house tidy & presentable before an inspection by the letting agents on Monday. 😭 #GenerationRent #carer

Today, the average English home costs 7.7x median earnings, up from around 4x in the late 1990s. It's not avocado toast. Working young people are structurally worse off.

The UK rental crisis is officially shrinking our lives. Nearly 1/3 of advertised flatshares now have NO living room, as landlords convert lounges to bedrooms to cover costs. 
-> Is a communal sofa too much to ask?
