They can demand payslips, references and half our life story from us. Meanwhile, renters barely knew anything about the person taking a huge chunk of our wages every month. A landlord register is a big win. Renters organised for this and we’ll keep fighting for more power over our homes. ✊

People can’t just keep being asked to pay more. Last year, 1.72 million council tax arrears cases were passed to bailiffs while bailiffs firms made record profits. Council tax isn’t working for us or councils. Only the bailiffs are winning, raking it in from people who can’t pay Scrap it!

“Documents reveal that the CCW has asked water companies to advise on how they wish to be held to account by consumers” You couldn’t make it up. After decades of rising bills, polluted rivers and failing services, they’ve had enough say. It’s time the people paying the bills had the power.

Hot off the heels of their win against ARP bailiffs in Thetford, @acorn-norwich.bsky.social beat the bailiffs again! 20 ACORN members stood firm in the pouring rain to keep our member Mohan in his home. He's got somewhere to sleep tonight thanks to union power!
