This is the best summary I could come up with:


A bill outlawing the practice is going through parliament, but is now not expected to be debated again until next month, after plans for upcoming parliamentary business were confirmed on Thursday by Penny Mordaunt, the leader of the Commons.

Polly Neate, the chief executive of Shelter, accused the government of “bowing to vested interests while renters are marched out of their homes in their thousands”.

It means that in the past decade, there has been a total loss of more than 180,000 social homes, which are offered at the lowest rents – typically a third of market rates.

The likely turnout of non-homeowning millennials – people aged 24 to 43 – is expected to be down eight percentage points at the next general election compared with the last one, according to analysis by the Resolution Foundation.

A spokesperson for the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities said: “Our landmark renters (reform) bill will deliver a fairer private rented sector for both tenants and landlords.

It will abolish section 21 evictions – giving people more security in their homes and empowering them to challenge poor practices … The total stock of social housing has grown by 151,000 since 2010, whereas in the previous 13 years it fell by 420,000.”

Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.

Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
