The government is being accused of “betraying” renters, as they reportedly plan to cancel their pledge to end no-fault evictions

The Times reports that the plan, which was a manifesto commitment, could be scrapped as they’re “not considered a priority”.

Baron Gavin Barwell of Croydon, a former Tory MP, says it’s an “appalling decision that will increase insecurity and homelessness”.

The new levelling up secretary, Simon Clarke, is reportedly recommending ideas which include allowing fewer affordable homes.
