Labour homelessness minister Rushanara Ali threw four tenants out of her east London townhouse before relisting the property for £700 a month more in rent, The i Paper can reveal. The landlord MP has previously spoken out against “private renters being exploited” and said her Government will “empower people to challenge unreasonable rent increases”. Labour’s Renters’ Rights Bill, which will become law next year, prohibits landlords who have ended a tenancy in order to sell a property from relisting it for higher rent until at least six months after tenants have moved out. A source close to Ali said her tenants’ had been told their tenancy would not be renewed and were offered the chance to stay on a rolling contract before she put the house up for sale – and the property was only relisted for rent after she did not find a buyer. A spokesperson for Ali said: “Rushanara takes her responsibilities seriously and complied with all relevant legal requirements.”

I've deleted two posts about homelessness minister the Rushanara Ali 'evicting' four tenants.

The Renters Reform Coalition and SNP characterise it as such, but not the i which broke the story. (They were told their tenancy wasn't being renewed). Make of it what you will

Recognise Palestine Now. Scottish Greens.

Labour are using Palestinian lives as a bargaining chip, telling Israel that if it behaves, then Starmer won't recognise Palestine.

Over 60,000 Palestinians have been murdered by Israel in Gaza, playing political games with a genocide is barbaric.

Recognise Palestine NOW! 🇵🇸

Not in my name Police Scotland

#ScottishIndependence

Angela Rayner didn't want Scottish newspapers at her campaign visit today, but we went to try and ask her some questions.

It was a pretty messy afternoon. 🥀

Given the population of England is 8 times that of Scotland it means we export almost 60% of what England exports.

That is phenomenal!

#ScottishIndependence will mean that all that trade will benefit Scotland!

What a disappointment this person is.

Poster highlighting the fact that independent Norway reduced electricity tariffs to ZERO to help its people afford to pay to heat themselves.

One of the things that Scotland could do when it becomes independent again . . fair pricing of electricity, instead of having to live with prices set by England's use of gas.
