NEW CAMPAIGN 🚨 Right now, people are pushed into poverty when councils send in bailiffs for council tax debt. But there’s another way. Together, we can stop this. Together, we can have dignity not debt. Together, we can make Britain Bailiff Free👇 🔗 acorntheunion.org.uk/bailiffs/

Apparently did £1424.50 worth of damage in last flat (which just so coincidentally adds up to the entire deposit), sure Jan!

Wages have risen slower than inflation for 21 months in a row, the longest period of pay suppression since the Napoleonic wars.

UK wages rise at fastest rate since records began bbc.in/47KsJAb
Readers added context
Headline is misleading. The article itself states that: “Regular pay grew by 7.8%. Inflation, which measures the pace at which prices are rising remains relatively high at 7.9%.” Described in “real terms” (that means taking inflation into account), this is a pay cut.

Landlords think your deposit belongs to them & they’ll lie point blank to your face like this to try & steal it from you. Tenants do not simply have to roll over and accept this kind of treatment - get in touch with your local ACORN branch & tell your landlord to leg it.
