Southwark Council has evicted the First Lady of Sierra Leone, Fatima Bio, who lives in a palace, from her council flat in South London. Whatever will she do…
It follows a year-long investigation. She defended her use of the property recently, saying: “My children are all British citizens… I’m paying for my council house myself. I have not committed any crime.” Didn’t work…
18,000 people are on the Southwark’s waiting list. The council said:
“We can confirm we have taken possession of a property in Walworth following a 12-month investigation by our Housing Investigations Team.
I look forward to bringing this council property back to its original purpose which is to provide a safe and secure home for people with legitimate housing need on the council’s waiting list. This property will be swiftly allocated to a local family in genuine housing need.”
Took their sweet time…
Krishnan Guru-Murthy asked John Healey: “Just finally, I mean Andy Burnham has been very clear he wants Britain back in the European Union in his lifetime. Do you?”
The Chancellor replied: “I’m older than Andy Burnham. I don’t expect to see that.”
