Do think there is confusion about the Renters Reform Bill & a lot of the reporting has been unhelpful. BUT this clarification omits the fact that there is no date for the ban on Section 21 evictions or the court review that hinges on. There is also no court funding commitment…

The Renters’ Reform Bill has passed its third reading in the House of Commons. The politics of how it was delayed, amended and ultimately watered down tell us a lot about the state of the Conservative Party - analysis from me @theipaper inews.co.uk/opinion/rentin…

Great to be quoted by @Victoria_Spratt in this excellent article in @theipaper on Renters Reform Bill, along with @nearlylegal, @NRLAssociation, @genrentuk and @BenTwomeyUK , in no particular order! I'm largely in favour of the Renters Reform Bill & wish they'd get on with it

Impact of @robhastings report @theipaper
Excellent explanation of the Renters (Reform) Bill from @Victoria_Spratt on Radio 4 now. Name check for top housing lawyer @nearlylegal .
I'll be on the World at One talking about the Renters' Reform Bill shortly ...
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
🏠 Opinion | The extent to which young adults’ families now step in to help them access homeownership was initially a consequence of house price inflation. Now it is also likely a cause of it, writes @Victoria_Spratt ➡️ Read her latest newsletter: trib.al/36yWBO4
Should women actually trust the Met police? Last week I sat down with @SadiqKhan to find out what he wants to do, if re-elected as mayor, to make women’s lives in the capital better. Read about it in today’s @theipaper and here inews.co.uk/inews-lifestyl…

HMT reportedly unhappy. Once again…pension funds don’t have to invest in freehold. Throughout history major reforms have inconvenienced the finances of some ppl. Doesn’t mean those reforms were wrong. Britain’s economy is too reliant on rent extraction and house price inflation

Worried about the unexplained disappeared from @LBC of @SangitaMyska. She’s a brave, principled journalist and an excellent broadcaster. Listeners will be missing her. What’s the explanation?
Sure lots of people will criticise groups pulling support from the Renters Reform Bill but this won't be a decision taken lightly. But campaigners are right to demand that the Bill that should finally deliver a new settlement for renters actually does so.
A 'colossal failure' without 'serious amendments'. The government’s failure to stand up to self-interested landlord MPs has created a version of the #RentersReformBill that betrays renters says Shelter’s @pollyn1, ahead of the Bill's Third Reading. independent.co.uk/news/uk/bill-m…

One might ask why he left such a hugely important piece of legislation until the last session of the Parliament. Even if Royal Assent is obtained before any election, commencement before then must be unlikely. We'll need new s8 notices, new court forms, CPR amendments etc
