Billionaire halts mass eviction after London Centric investigation​



Exclusive: Asif Aziz's Criterion Capital hoped to remove hundreds of permanent tenants and replace them with lucrative temporary accommodation. That plan appears to have been shelved – for now.

"Asif Aziz has previously said that “tackling homelessness” is one of his main objectives in life, and the Aziz Foundation has this year partnered with youth homelessness charity Centrepoint."

The Aziz Foundation receives funding directly from the family’s residential property holdings – meaning the tenants threatened with eviction have been helping to subsidise the family’s more PR-friendly charitable activities which give them access to the top levels of the British establishment.​

Its never ending for Labour! Seems this guy knows the result of an investigation only just launched before it has actually done the investigating:

Josh Simons accidentally sends details of his case to Labour MP group chat
The Cabinet Office minister is facing calls to be sacked:

"Simons appears to have been informed by the Labour chief whip, Jonathan Reynolds, that the Cabinet Office probe has found he did not breach the ministerial code. However, a person familiar with the matter said the Cabinet Office doesn’t decide on whether or not the ministerial code has been breached."

Jonathan Reynolds of course (in)famous for claiming for years to be a solicitor................when he wasn't.........which is illegal..........yet he's still in there and trusted to the hilt to be in the prestige position of chief whip

Sounds like its not going to be a close thing in Gorton and Denton. Some are talking about it as being a relatively comfortable win for Greens with Labour probably third! In Labour's 6th safest seat!

I was surprised by this election result as I expected Reform to get in. The best news about the result is probably that Reform were well behind in second. The Conservatives only got 700-odd votes!

I am thinking that this is a" Jeremy Corbyn moment" where people have started to believe that Zack Polanski can really make a difference. It crossed my mind this morning that I wonder if any Labour MPs will consider crossing the floor to the Greens. This probably spells the end for Sir Keir Starmer and it is good news that the by-election shows that the country has an appetite for progressive politics.
 
Anyone thinking that Burnham would have won it for Labour, are in cloud cuckoo land, this was always going to be an opportunity to vote against Labour and their shortcomings and failure to address a number of issues. The big suprise is that Reform failed to win it. It was a case of voting for the best of the rest and apparently that isn't the Tory or Lib parties? The Conservative's Charlotte Cadden came fourth with 706 votes - the party's worst ever by-election result - and the Liberal Democrats' Jackie Pearcey had 653.

Turn out was 47.5% which suggests a lot of Labour voters sat on their hands, disloyal but understandable in the circumstances, they are also unhappy with the current Labour Party and their frequent U turns.

Nope. Turn out in the general election was only 48%.
