“Politicians need to ensure proper security for tenants — but in the meantime, we won’t wait around.”

The big landlord sell off has always been a myth propagated by the landlord lobby as a scare tactic to derail the Renters Reform Bill.

So many journalists and MPs swallowed it without question.

Today it was confirmed the Renters (Reform) Bill won't pass.

Renters were promised a better deal and the end of no fault evictions. Over 5 years we've been let down time and again.

The next government must do much better - it will be up to them to fix the renting crisis.

Translation: We've invested a lot of time and money lobbying landlord-friendly Tory MPs to weaken this Bill, and now they're all going to lose their seats.

How far we’ve come…10 years ago I was getting to work on the doors just happy that people had actually turned up to our first local meeting.

Yesterday, I walked out of TSBs London HQ with yet another HUGE ACORN the union win. So proud of our members. There is power in the union!

Following actions at 30 branches & hundreds of people taking part in our online action, we met with TSB at their London HQ yesterday. We’re pleased to say that after positive negotiations they will be changing the rule in their mortgages that limit tenancy contracts to 12 months.

For the next six weeks, the UK is going to be fixated by electoral politics, and rightly so.

After 14 years of attacking our welfare system, dismantling public services, and presiding over the worst housing crisis since the Second World War, the end of Tory rule cannot come soon

Young people don't want Labour to put 'stability first'. I'm 34 and wages have fallen my entire adult life while the housing crisis grows worse. What young person wants that to be stabilised?

Today ends 5 years of renters being fed false hope by the Tories. The Bill effectively died when the gov decided to side with landlord lobbyists long ago.

Now is a chance to start anew and demand the next government ban no fault evictions immediately and without condition.

What Sunak won't talk about today:

Private rents are now increasing more than 4x faster than CPI.

Rent control now.

You can be on a top 5% salary but it STILL isn’t enough for some landlords.

No wonder birth rates are plummeting and so many families are stuck in temporary accommodation.
