Revealed: Labour-run council using legal loophole to serve families with no-fault evictions

The article reveals that a Labour-run council in London is using a legal loophole to issue no-fault evictions to dozens of families, despite Keir Starmer's 2024 election manifesto pledge to outlaw the practice. The council has created an arm's-length body to manage some of its housing stock, allowing it to bypass the planned renters' rights bill that would ban no-fault evictions. This practice is ongoing, more than a year after Labour's election victory and their promise to scrap no-fault evictions "immediately". The article highlights the disconnect between Labour's pre-election promises and the reality of their actions, raising questions about the party's commitment to protecting renters' rights. The report suggests that the council's use of this legal loophole undermines Keir Starmer's pledge and raises concerns about the party's follow-through on its manifesto commitments.
