We’re living in the mass embodiment of the hostile environment designed by Theresa May. When you make universities, hospitals, landlords, workplaces etc into border guards, you rope in the public into being ‘migrant hunters’ This is the violent conclusion of violent state policy

The dark heart of this catastrophe lies in this simple, depressing narrative: the state stepped back, corporate greed stepped in and innocent people died. Bit by me for The Guardian: theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

The govt's new Renters' Rights Bill will be unveiled today! We await the full details - and safeguards will be key to end unfair evictions - but as our director Tom Darling says, it's clear this is “a stronger piece of legislation" than the last attempt theguardian.com/money/article/…
