Social Justice Lawyering @Shelter #GRLPWR#SisterNotCister#BLM#Pan "First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win" London / BrightonJoined April 2019
🚨 Our new report, out today, shows that we're heading towards a catastrophic system meltdown because of the Illegal Migration Act and the Rwanda Plan. Over 100,000 people seeking asylum will be stranded in “permanent limbo” by the end of 2024. 🧵
More than 100 Margate residents stopped a coach from moving 22 asylum-seekers from a Kent hotel to the #BibbyStockholm.
They were led by Mayor Rob Yates, who said: “I've been clear with the Home Office - if they send more coaches tomorrow we'll be here, and every day after that.”
Principles of international law took decades of hard work & compromise to build up and it’s incredibly chilling how rapidly, and recklessly, our government & others have cast them aside when they found them inconvenient

Anyone out there researching the protected characteristics of inter-generational wealth transfer? Who amongst us is more / less able to access a UK Home Owning family member? I have my suspicions of course...🏘️💸
Great work by @OlliePersey and others revealing the same old issue, that the dire lack of central government funding to local authorities is leading to unlawful breaches of statutory duties towards the most vulnerable. It's an untenable situation for all concerned.

🔴 RENTERS REFORM BILL UPDATE 🔴
Following the Third Reading of the #RentersReformBill it's become clear Shelter cannot support this version of the Bill.
Renters have campaigned tirelessly for a Bill that will genuinely protect them. This Bill is not it.
LIVE FROM FINAL STAGES OF RRB
@KarenPBuckMP challenging @JacobYoungMP "if this thing is so wonderful, why have all the housing organisations withdrawn their support"
The government must repeal the Rwanda Act and abandon all plans to outsource the UK’s asylum responsibilities to other countries.
We must protect people who need safety here as part of our communities.

The #RentersReformBill is back in the commons.
MPs are debating what’s in the Bill. But our message is clear.
What's in the Bill isn’t good enough. It won’t fix the problems that renters face day in, day out. This bill needs serious amendments or it will be a colossal failure.
PMQs kicking off with @AngelaRayner pressing @OliverDowden on when the Government actually plans to abolish section 21 evictions.
1. We need a date not an indefinite kicking of the can down the road.
2. They need to actually be abolished, not just in name only.
The #RentersReformBill should have been the start of a fairer, better rental system. Instead, the Government has betrayed renters and given in to a handful of self-interested landlord MP’s.
Ahead of Third Reading we've joined @RentersReformCo to call this Bill out as a failure.

The Renters’ Reform Bill no longer has the support of the Renters’ Reform Coalition - a group including Shelter, the Joseph Rowntree Foundation and Generation Rent because it…doesn’t actually give a date for the ban on Section 21 evictions which is…what it was designed to do
Incredibly sad today. So many of us have been working and wishing on new law to bring the much needed rebalance of power to renting. Alas despite the high hopes raised by Gove's 2022 White Paper, this #RentersReformBill is no such thing and doesn't even ban no-fault evictions💔

‘The govt’s White Paper promised a private rented sector “with affordability, security and quality at its heart.”
As Chair of the RRC I fully support the @RentersReformCo & agree the Bill falls far short of the govt’s promise.
The Bill in its current form is a failure!

🚨🚨 We @RentersReformCo members will not accept this Renters (Reform) Bill 🚨🚨
As it enters its remaining House of Commons stages this afternoon, we are warning that in its current form the Bill "will be a failure".
