Labour’s housing hypocrisy: councils serve almost 200 families with no-fault eviction notices

The article highlights the apparent hypocrisy of Labour-run councils in the UK, which have issued almost 200 families with no-fault eviction notices despite the party's promise to ban the practice. The investigation found that firms run by five of the party's councils have used a legal loophole to serve these section 21 notices, which allow landlords to evict tenants without a reason. The article notes that scrapping section 21 evictions was one of Keir Starmer's main pledges before the last general election, but more than a year later, the practice remains lawful. The article suggests a disconnect between Labour's campaign promises and the actions of its councils, raising questions about the party's commitment to addressing the housing crisis and protecting tenants' rights.
