I asked Bristolians how much they're forking out on rent. The answer? Too much!
It's time for the govt to give regions the power to control rents and stop landlords ripping off their tenants
So I'm calling for #RentControls to be included in the Devolution Bill this week.

Rent controls would save households up to £2,400 a year and the Government £2 billion a year.
It's a no-brainer.
But only the Green Party has a policy to introduce them.

In the 1970s over 30% of the population lived in council housing. I was one of them.
Back then one person could easily afford to run an entire household because most of their wages didn't go to the landlord. There wasn't the personal debt that exists today either. #RentControls

The answer to solving the housing crisis is:
- Build more affordable #SocialHousing in the right places at right price
- Buy back empty properties and turn them into new homes.
- Introduce #RentControls
- End the failed #RightToBuy scheme
At the same time, protect #Nature!

Reform wants to decide who deserves a home based on where they were born.
The answer to the housing crisis is more council homes and affordable rents, not division.

So I quickly researched his claim. And the numbers don’t look good for Kimberly-Clark.

Housing Benefit, coupled with a deliberate failure to intervene in the market, represents a massive handout to wealthy landowners. When politicians talk about benefit cuts, they never talk about how to reduce the HB bill (without leaving people destitute). Funny, that.

Housing benefits, that go directly to the UK's landlords, will cost £37.3 billion this year.
Why does the government not build the homes and let local councils collect the rent ensuring a recurring income for them and removing profiteering.
Oh I forgot Thatcherite neoliberalism that's why
