Labours Homelessness Minister Evicts Tenants (Now Sacked)

[Cherie]

Labour homelessness minister Rushanara Ali threw four tenants out of her east London townhouse before relisting the property for £700 a month more in rent, The i Paper can reveal.

The landlord MP has previously spoken out against “private renters being exploited” and said her Government will “empower people to challenge unreasonable rent increases”.

Labour’s Renters’ Rights Bill, which will become law next year, prohibits landlords who have ended a tenancy in order to sell a property from relisting it for higher rent until at least six months after tenants have moved out.

A source close to Ali said her tenants’ had been told their tenancy would not be renewed and were offered the chance to stay on a rolling contract before she put the house up for sale – and the property was only relisted for rent after she did not find a buyer.

A spokesperson for Ali said: “Rushanara takes her responsibilities seriously and complied with all relevant legal requirements.”

Conservative shadow Housing Secretary, James Cleverly, called on Ali to consider her position, saying the allegations “would be an example of the most extreme hypocrisy and she should not have the job as homelessness minister”.

jeez we thought the Tories were bad :joker:

[thesheriff443]

I would imagine the loop hole is because she put it up for sale and it didn’t sell she was then able to re rent it

Morals means very little when it comes to making money

I would imagine she didn't try very hard to sell...6 months is nothing when you can hike the rent


She is the homelessness minister, its nothing to do with her morals..and more to do with the position she has been appointed to? Not sure why you give everyone a free pass, these people have been voted in to do the right thing, not to carry on as if they were Joe Bloggs

This country is a disaster zone at this point.

I honestly don't know who we should elect to be our Government.

And I'm sick to death of Landlords scheming against their Tenants.

You can laugh at the situation or get angry
Getting angry won’t change a thing
Being the same age you should of come to the realisation that life isn’t fair and it’s never going to be
Humans in positions of trust or responsibility means nothing
The fact you voted people into these positions means nothing

It’s a dog eat dog world

As usual

Bang on right Mock

[thesheriff443]

I will add I’ve never voted in my life and I never will

[thesheriff443]

My neighbour in the big house next to mine bought half the field behind him me and my other neighbours

He sells luxury cars, he put a planning application in for a barn to house sheep and keep their bedding and food it got approved so they reapplied
It’s now been built, it’s a six car garage

Didn’t we have the same kind of situation with miss raynor regarding housing
They all play the system

And its about time we demand the standards they expect from the rest of us, we have got to this point by saying ...oh well, they are all the same, and move on, we need to push back against it, even James O Brien who normally defends everything the government does is suggesting she should resign.

I like you and I would even let you buy me a Coke Zero but and there is a but
When using self scan you would put an extra item in the trolley without scanning it, that’s playing the system, on a much lower level but it’s still playing the system

Given the opportunity 99.9 percent of people will use the system to better themselves
You never hear of a poor or homeless member of parliament do you?
So it boils down to the fact if people can get away with it they will

[Cherie]

What is quiet depressing is Labour supporters lining up to ring in and say she did nothing wrong but they think she should resign...:crazy:


why does she need to resign if she has done nothing wrong

The new Bill is to come into
Parliament to what she did
makes it illegal.

So she is doing it just before
Labour's Renters Rights Bill
becomes law.

Also, she should not be the Minister
for homeless

Oh I agree with you Arista, it just made me chuckle people saying she did nothing wrong...lol a 700.00 increase a month in rent is fairly substantial even after 6 months

Tell me something as your husband builds houses would you not do the same given the opportunity

[Cherie]

You are completely missing the point...... she is the Minister for Homelessness and in the past she has said this

The landlord MP has previously spoken out against “private renters being exploited” and said her Government will “empower people to challenge unreasonable rent increases”.


It doesn't matter what I would do, I am not being paid by the taxpayer to protect the homeless. She has been put into this position I assume as the best person to do the job but as she is exploiting the system herself how can she possibly do that, yet another instance of do as I say not as I do and unfortunately Sheriff you are part of the problem as you just turn a blind eye, hopefully she is sacked by the end of the week and if she isn't I will be writing to my Labour MP to ask why not

[Cherie]

And actually Sheriff I wouldn't exploit people for gain, years ago we used to rent out our property in Spain, we had a couple who used to rent it now and again get in touch last summer to ask if we still rented, we don;t, but they were always great renters and kept in touch over the years even though they had not been out to Spain for some time, and are now in their 80s and even dont we dont rent any more we gave them our place for 8 weeks just after Christmas for a nominal fee just to cover the bills, we could have charged them the market rent but we didn't so I hope that answers your question.

Sorry you are a hypocrite given the opportunity you would do the same and it goes above her in terms of deputy prime minister and the prime minister
Every mp that’s gets the second home allowance is using the system my neighbour who got a six car garage in a green belt field is using the system
Asylum seekers using the system
I don’t turn a blind eye to it I can see what is going on but unlike you and others I know you are flogging a dead horse


It’s imbedded in the fabric of life

See above, so no I am no a hypocrite, my son also rents a room he could add a couple of hundred more pounds every month if he wanted but he puts more value on living with someone he likes rather than having more cash in the bank, not everyone is motivated by money, he lives extremely frugally doesn't really understand why people have so many possessions and doesn't rip anyone off or the system dont judge everyone by your own standards

I’m judging you by your standards and the difference with your son is he is living with the people he rents to he has the belief that less rent makes a better rental relationship

Dont be ridiculous, you have no idea what I would do in any situation, you know nothing about me

I see your standards though and that is rip people off apparently

[Cherie]

Usually LBC would carry on the debate about this but no a peep since James O Brien, looks like the wagons are circling around this lady

Your husband builds houses he wants as much as he can get for them let’s not pretend he does it for charity

When you sold your houses did you give people discounts because they were nice

And because I recognise how it’s a dog eat dog world doesn’t mean I’m ripping people off but I don’t work for nothing because that’s another side of the dog eat dog world if people could get people to work for nothing they would

My husband does not build houses .... wind your neck in you know nothing about me, again there is nothing wrong with legitimately making a living, she put her rent up by 21 per cent from 3,300 to 4,000 a month AFTER telling people she would stop the private sector ripping off renters, if you cant see the story here I cant make it any clearer for you, she has now 'resigned' or as most would call it been sacked though Starmer doesn't have the balls to say he did it

Don’t tell me to wind my neck in you started the conversation saying I give people a free pass and I’m in favour of ripping people off

If you gonna steal from a supermarket then climb off your bloody high horse thinking you are any better than anyone else

You want to hold people to a higher level of accountability than yourself and when you get challenged suddenly I’m the bad person
I know enough, stop stealing from super markets when you have enough money to pay for your items

what the actual hell are you talking about now ...you have lost it mate... I accidentally ended up taking something during covid and I sure as hell wasnt going to queue to take it back other than that you are making stuff up. Putting you on ignore now as you really are not worth my time.

[joeysteele]

I am really done with this lot, it just gets worse.
I'll still see where things are and what's being done by 2027.
I always said my full judgement of them would be where they have the UK in around 3 years, not just in the first year or so.

However I'll actually I think now be looking at the set up to come from Corbyn.
I could be possibly persuaded to back many more of what that Party's policies are likely to be.

I think we will all be looking at Corbyn with fresh eyes Joey, can't see this lot getting a second term unless there is a clear out at the top and some decent people take over. The top 3 are just dire.

You can put me on ignore but you need a better memory, you posted about how you always do when you using self scane
I think you described it as your little treat

Anyway that’s enough of this conversation for me
