  3. Maybe she just misunderstood the remit of being the homelessness minister.

  4. Classic.

    Labour are really committing to the “we are now the old school Tories” bit, aren’t they?

  5. Not her proudest moment and strange that the managing agents decided to drop the illegal charges they were trying to make the tenants pay when it was pointed out they knew the landlord was a Labour MP.

    Also odd that one month after the tenants had to move out after being told the property was being sold it was re-listed for rent at an increased monthly cost.

    Still, I suppose you could argue that this is “Poacher turned Gamekeeper” and that the Minister has first hand experience of the difficulties that tenants experience.

  6. I’m not even shocked any more. Labour, like the Tories, need to fade into irrelevance.

  7. How is being a landlord not a blatant conflict of interest for any MP with any responsibility for housing? Can someone explain this to me? 

  8. This is why they do nothing about housing in this country, they’re all fucking landlords

  9. Meet the new boss same as the old boss.

    Won’t get fooled again, the who.

    Except **Britain will by voting in reform who will be worse than either.**

    Shame this lot just want to be red Tories and get the city jobs and take the Corporations and Israeli money for a few years till then,

  10. The right of the Labour Party is absolutely packed with scummy landlords. It’s really not surprising some of them are ministers now.

  11. I think we’d be surprised if an MP didn’t do this and she’s the one with the ministerial job meant to show she cares. Any dirty Tory or sleekit Reform MP who tries to one-up this woman MP should keep their trap shut. They are guaranteed to be doing the same. Damn liar Tory MPs.

    > threw out

    > after her tenants’ lease ended

    Imagine signing say a 6 month deal and then after 6 months, the deal ends, but you feel entitled to a new deal on your terms, otherwise you consider yourself ‘thrown out’
