Revealed: Labour-run council using legal loophole to serve families with no-fault evictions
Revealed: Labour-run council using legal loophole to serve families with no-fault evictions
Exclusive: London council created an arm’s-length body to manage some of its housing stock A Labour-run council is using a legal loophole to issue dozens of families with no-fault evictions, despite Keir Starmer’s manifesto pledge to outlaw the practice. Scrapping no-fault evictions “immediately” was one of Labour’s main manifesto pledges before its 2024 election win, but more than a year on, the party’s flagship renters’ rights bill has not been made law.

Absolute irredeemable scum

"However, Lambeth council in south London has been able to start eviction proceedings against 63 households because it created an arm’s-length body to manage some of its housing stock."

BBC chose a photo that looks like Sadiq is staring at the full Downing Street Cabinet and working out how to assassinate them all.

Very cool photo
Sadiq Khan in sharp focus while things around him are blurred. Wearing a suit, kinda looking over his right shoulder with a face that suggests he's going to fuck shit up. The lighting is remarkable, when mixed with his facial expression it makes him look quite badass

Today (date), the Slender-billed Curlew was declared extinct. The first bird extinction on mainland Europe in 500 years — on our watch. Extinction is final. No going back. Think about that.

It’s dispiriting that this is what getting a COVID vaccination now looks like to this chronic asthmatic.

I'm 24 years old. I have a mortgage and own my own home, and I have a full time job.

But under Cass' recommendations Levy, I wouldn't be trusted with hormones if he decides to consider it.

Shows how ridiculous it all is.
These new figures come in the wake of 2024's Cass Review of gender services for children, which recommended the creation of a 'follow-through service' for 17 to 25-year-olds. Cass said this would help "ensure continuity of care and support at a potentially vulnerable stage in a trans person's journey" and "allow clinical and research follow-up data to be collected". This sparked fears that access to healthcare, such as hormone replacement therapy (HRT) would be restricted or even banned for under-25s - QueerAF

These things are often penned by comms folks aren't they, then signed off at a more senior level.

I guess the thing I wonder is did Brown even see it went out? I'd hope so, but...

Anyway, I'm going to bed now.

Listen to old reggae and ska if you can, you might be surprised by the influence they've had.

The version from the Clash leans heavily into reggae now that I listen again and compare them

I guess it goes to show how much of UK punk was borrowed and adapted from elsewhere (stolen?)

Can't forget Bam Bam from Sister Nancy, inspired by the 60s, samples from the 70s and itself one of the most sampled tracks - a huge impact on the culture

I think Bob Marley holds a lot of space on the popular conscience when it comes to reggae.

He's earned that, but I reckon he overshadows not just a lot of other reggae artists but also a lot of other musical styles from Jamaica and the wider Caribbean

Listening to random old reggae and ska.

It didn't start with Bob or Lee Scratch Perry

Byron Lee and the Dragonaires is a bit on the nose, but they've been making music since 1962

Dandy Livingstone recorded A Message To You Rudy in 1967 (I grew up on The Specials version in 1979)
