I'm so pleased Zack made a Fair Rents Guarantee a key part of his conference speech - keeping up pressure on govt on behalf of the millions of renters who have no choice but to transfer an unsustainable and growing proportion of their income straight into the bank accounts of landlords.

What neoliberalism did to the UK. 25.3m people, including 14.9m working adults and 7.7m children, live below minimum income standard. Richest 1% has more wealth than the bottom 70% of the population combined. 50 families hold more wealth than 34m people. Can't grow economy on mass poverty.

The backdrop to the horrific scenes in Dover and Portsmouth is Reform encouraging fear and division and the Home Office helping with hostile policies. So now we have massed fascists dressed in black on our streets. The Govt must name hard right fascism and then stand up to it.

Here's what the landlord lobby don't want you to know: If rents went down by 20%, renters would save £2400 a year. The government would save £2 billion a year. And landlords would still make 4.5 times as much profit as the average business.

History shows us there are 2 options when faced with a rising far right. 1. Deal with it quickly and decisively. 2. Let it win. The great majority reject it. But it doesn't need majority support: just enough thugs to intimidate everyone else. Weakness and indecision by government let it rise.

A graphic outlining three things the government could do to make things better: 1. Introduce rent controls - make rents more affordable and give tenants more security in their homes. 2. Introduce a wealth tax - Tax the top 1% to tackle growing inequality and help fund out public services better. 3. Bring water back into public ownership - stop profiteering from our waters, public ownership equals cheaper bills
