On Monday 19th February the world lost Louie Herbert - a dear friend and comrade and a founding member of ACORN - following a short illness.
It’s fair to say that there wouldn’t be ACORN as we know it today without Louie. He was there from the very inception in 2013, busy setting up the structures, office space and securing the funding needed to get things moving.

You're perhaps the most dense journo, London has over 30,000 homes empty "long-term". Billionaire investment portfolios treat our city like a playground, practically printing cash keeping homes empty as the line goes up.
We should tax them out of existence.

London is perhaps the least dense major city in the world. And that makes its housing among the most expensive. The only way is up. Central London should be seven to ten storeys standard - like Paris.

Interesting - a former No. 10 adviser admits she blocked the Renters (Reform) Bill while in Downing St.
This is what we housing campaigners have been up against - there are parts of the Conservative Party that just do not believe in additional protections for renters.

I blocked it for short-time I was in No.10 but alas it lives on. Landlords are leaving the market, and who can blame them.

Proof council leaders have concealed the truth about how long they've known about dangers at Barton House!
After a question by ACORN member Andy Watt, they've revealed structural issues were known in August 2022.

This is what politicians & journos fail to understand about ACORN. We aren't kindhearted do-gooders helping people out, we're working class people standing up for ourselves. Viv got harrassed by bailiffs, so she led & won a campaign to get rid of them. Because she's ACORN.

23,000 low income households in Manchester will no longer be chased for council tax debts by bailiffs thanks to a huge campaign by ACORN members and our friends at @debtjustice👊
