Rachel Reeves is now working on getting a selective rental licence from Southwark Council after the Daily Mail exposed her illegal renting out of a property in Dulwich Wood. For a period of at least 16 months…
The licence usually costs £900. In November last year, when Reeves was already illegally renting out her house, the exact same situation occurred in nearby Camberwell. Also in Southwark…
A landlord and letting agency were ordered to pay over £3,000 for an unlicensed property only months ago. The fines were reduced following their early guilty pleas. Labour Councillor Natasha Ennin, Cabinet Member for Community Safety & Neighbourhoods, said at the time:
“This case demonstrates our commitment to holding landlords and letting agents accountable when they fail to meet their legal obligations. Licensing ensures that rented properties in Southwark are safe and well-maintained for our residents. We will continue to take action against those who put tenants at risk and encourage residents to report unscrupulous landlords.”
Civil financial penalties can go higher than £20,000. A new black hole…
UPDATE: A Southwark Council spokesperson said:
“Southwark Council requires private landlords to acquire a selective license in order to rent out their homes if they live in specific areas. This is in order to protect tenants and ensure landlords are complying with housing requirements, providing safe, well-maintained homes.
“Selective licenses are acquired by sending applications to the council, which we then assess and approve subject to conditions.
“When we become aware of an unlicensed property, we issue a warning letter advising the landlord that they have 21 days to apply for a license – enforcement action such as fines are reserved for those who do not apply within that time or where a property is found to be in an unsafe condition.
“We cannot comment on individual cases.”
UPDATE II: According to Number 10, ‘new information‘ has come to light…
Jamie Driscoll’s love affair with Your Party has come to an acrimonious end. Maybe he can go back to the leftist party he founded just months ago now…
In a statement published late last night the former data controllers for Your Party – MOU Operations – resigned. Driscoll was one of them along with Islington campaigner Andrew Feinstein and ex-Labour MP Beth Winter. Corbyn’s team told the Guardian this week that the trio had “gone rogue” and were holding funds to ransom “despite direct pleas from Jeremy and Zarah”…
Your Party said it would begin legal proceedings. The statement released last night says “Your Party demanded control of MOU’s assets without accepting control of MOU itself. This would have left us to deal with the liabilities and costs from the confused membership launches.” They go on to complain:
“We have been extraordinarily patient, and tried to resolve this quietly behind the scenes. Your Party have claimed in emails and social media statements that we delayed the data transfer. We repeatedly asked them to stop making factually incorrect claims of this nature. They gave hostile briefings to journalists. We behaved with integrity.”
Zarah Sultana will now take over company. What will it be tomorrow with these guys…

Nearly one in three (30%) small businesses in the UK expect to cut operations, sell up, or collapse within the next 12 months, according to the Federation of Small Businesses. Net confidence has plunged to -58 in the third quarter, down from -44 previously. The second lowest reading since the pandemic…
With 6% of small firms expecting to close their doors over the next year, that’s a staggering 300,000 businesses potentially going insolvent under Labour. FSB policy chair Tina McKenzie warned:
“Millions of small businesses shrinking, closing, or selling up instead of growing means a vicious cycle of a lower tax take, higher unemployment, and greater demands on the state all exacerbating each other in a downward spiral. The Chancellor’s Budget speech will be a make-or-break moment for small businesses.”
All this comes as the (un)Employment Rights Bill becomes law. Shadow Business Secretary Andrew Griffith added: “Ahead of Halloween, Rachel Reeves is the economic grim reaper leading to record number of small businesses saying they fear having to downsize or shut up shop entirely.” Remember when Starmer said small businesses were “the backbone of the UK economy”?
Rachel Reeves has admitted to breaking housing regulations after unlawfully renting out her four-bed house without a licence for £3,200 a month since last September. After probes from the Daily Mail, she referred herself to the independent ethics adviser…
Reeves’ spokesman said:
“Since becoming Chancellor Rachel Reeves has rented out her family home through a lettings agency. She had not been made aware of the licencing requirement, but as soon as it was brought to her attention she took immediate action and has applied for the licence. This was an inadvertent mistake and in the spirit of transparency she has made the Prime Minister, the Independent Adviser on Ministerial Standards and the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards aware.”
Kemi Badenoch blasted: “If the Chancellor, who has spent months floating punishing tax hikes on family homes, has at the same time seemingly been profiting from illegally renting out her house, that would make her position extremely tenuous.” No doubt ‘attention to detail’ was on her CV…
It’s time for taxpayers to open their wallets nice and wide once again: the Motability Scheme is now offering new two-seater sports cars. The perfect ride for those suffering from ‘tennis elbow’…
This month, Motability rolled out a range of Mazdas available to those on PIP or disability allowance, including three types of the 2-seat convertible Mazda MX-5. Some of these cars do 0-60mph in 5.7 seconds…
Meanwhile, there’s no sign of a rethink on who qualifies and Reeves reportedly won’t be scrapping VAT or insurance premium tax exemptions for the scheme until autumn 2026 at the earliest. By which point she hopes to have grown enough of a spine to do something – anything – about this…
Kemi Badenoch at the 1922-ConHome bash last night:
“I did praise [Burnham] for his stamina, it was amazing. All I had to do was sit back and lie there. I didn’t have to do anything at all…”
