The Renters' Rights Act isn't done and dusted. The landlord database rollout is the start of phase 2. This is a huge opportunity to empower renters and hold landlords to account. We'll be continuing to fight for renters in this phase - and the next 💪 www.thisismoney.co.uk/money/buytol...

Landlords will have to register on national database from this year

It will require every landlord in England to register with their local authority and list details of every property they let.

Debt is a trap that people are pushed into; it's both the result of, and a cause of, so many of the inequities, not least racial inequities, we see in health. Making sure that people have access to the right support in the right places to escape that trap is vital.

UK govt can save over £20bn a year by ending payment of interest on commercial banks’ central bank reserves. Subsidy implemented after the 2007-08 crash. Banks are very profitable. Since 2023, the EU stopped paying interest on central bank reserves. UK can find better uses of £20bn+.

There's a strategy for moving the Overton window wherein you say extreme stuff so even if you don't persuade centrists you recalibrate their sense of where the reasonable compromises lie and thus get things a bit closer to your preferred point of view. My sense is the Right can do this and we can't.
