George Clarke's Council House Scandal

Our country desperately needs new council houses to be built – in greater numbers and to better standards – so our housing stock will stand the test of time. We all need to care about our council housing system. Please sign my petition: #CouncilHouse100 👉change.org/councilhousesc…

We're delighted to announce @MrGeorgeClarke won Outstanding Campaigner of the year at the #UKHA2020!👏 Support our call to build a new generation of well-designed, affordable council houses for those most in need here👇 change.org/p/uk-parliamen…

Relying on compassion isn’t working. Most landlords are refusing to help struggling tenants. Sound familiar? Share your story and help us fix the renting crisis for good. ventyour.rent #VentYourRent

Did you miss Monday's hearing? @MrGeorgeClarke gave evidence to the @CommonsHCLG to help them investigate key issues affecting social housing delivery. 📺 Watch it tonight on BBC Parliament at 8pm! #UKHousing #CouncilHouse100

When people ask why we believe that Right to Buy should be reformed or abolished, THIS is the answer. For too long private landlords have profited from people’s poverty. Decent, affordable housing isn’t a privilege it’s a basic human right. #UKHousing #CouncilHouse100

The market has changed – but our housing system hasn’t. Twenty years on, buying a house is nothing more than a pipedream for many, without adequate social/rental provision to support as a decent, affordable alternative. #UKhousing #CouncilHouse100

“We have the second highest level of homelessness in London . . . these 300 social homes will give some of our most vulnerable residents a secure, permanent home." Fantastic to see these plans submitted by @RBKC 👏👏 24housing.co.uk/news/rbkcs-cou…

Go GEORGE!!! 👏

Esther McVey was the 10th Housing Minister in the past 10 years. How can Government fix the housing crisis without a permanent leader to champion the cause? We need stability and we need ACTION! #CouncilHouse100 📸Institute for Government

It's utterly unacceptable that we're haemorrhaging so many social homes whilst over one million households are STILL on the waiting list. Government MUST invest in the future and ensure a new generation of social housing! #CouncilHouse100 #UKHousing independent.co.uk/news/uk/politi…

In 1951 #councilhousing was considered the biggest Government priority, second only to national defence. 69 years later, we want affordable housing back at the top of Government's agenda. councilhousescandal.co.uk #CouncilHouse100

Charlotte always imagined that #homeownership would be a natural stage on life’s journey. Aged just 23, the reality of the #housing crisis has hit, and getting a foot on the housing ladder now seems like a distant dream. Read her story 👇 #CouncilHouse100 councilhousescandal.co.uk/2019/08/a-home…

George's statement is without exaggeration. Lives are being completely wrecked by a housing system that simply doesn’t work, and it MUST change. Please sign our petition: change.org/councilhousesc…

We don’t just need more council houses, we need better ones too. What do you value most about where you live? Maybe it’s open green spaces, local shops on your doorstep or a community centre with lots going on - let us know what matters most to you. 👇🏼#CouncilHouse100
