How incompetent and clueless these Marxist lot are, is jaw dropping. As already said, they live in cloud cuckoo land where they expect landlords to help tenants reduce their energy costs with themselves being £000s out of pocket; and they...
Reply to the comment left by Adam Ahmed at 23/01/2026 - 13:44You've summed things up beautifully in a common-sense manner. Unfortunately, common sense isn't at all common, especially amongst our clueless Marxists in power with their holier than thou agendas.
Reply to the comment left by Peter Merrick at 23/01/2026 - 08:55The answer is because the issue isn't about who pays the bills but rather about tenants living in "warm and descent" homes, as far as Red Ed and his...
Reply to the comment left by Reluctant Landlord at 22/01/2026 - 17:11Honestly, Hollywood couldn't have made the incompetence up as a movie script, if they try. It is unbelievable.
Complete nonsense and madness that only increase rents for tenants, force landlords to sell up and do little for the environment. Sooner we get Red Ed and his bunch of Marxists out, the better. Hopefully, they'll be long gone before...
Great article, summed up perfectly. I.e. Southwark Council must prosecute her and issue a RRO for the tenants to get 12 months' rent back for breaking the law and Starmer should sack her and the so-called ethics adviser, if she...

Nadia Whittome is a typical Labour ideological Marxist who neither gets nor wish to be educated about the truth or reality on ground. It is sad that we have clueless people like her running the country.
For me, this is an open and shut case. She broke the rule and she has admitted to it. Ignorance is no defence in law. And it was her responsibility to investigate what the law requires of her before letting...
Even Peter Pan could have told them right from the outset that they have close to zero chance of meeting such stern house building targets; especially when they have council planners all over the country who place obstacles in the...
It's like these people have nothing better to do with the power entrusted in them by voters. Maybe they'll also introduce a law that prevents homeowners from rejecting neighbour's pets wandering into their home or garden.
Clueless egomaniacs like Tom Darling don't really get it. His arguments are pathetic and weak. His really issue is clearly that of deep socialist ideology rather than a desire to improve the PRS. Govts need to learn and understand that...
What a political manifesto from an MP and a party that doesn't get it! He ignorantly says that private landlords don't add positive value to the economy but the idiot is wrong. As a landlord of two decades, I can...
Ms Angela Runaround is clearly either sitting on a high Horse or living in cloud cuckoo land. Brandishing people blanketly as "criminal landlords" is not only despicable but shows crass arrogance on her part. If a tiny number of landlords...

Period inspections (ideally twice a year) with written reports will also help.

That's when a fully documented and jointly signed check-in inventory report will prove it's worth.

Advice to landlords on this is to never be sloppy or cut corners, or it'll cost you. Simples!
