Lucy Powell defended Labour MP Jas Athwal despite complaints about his properties, stating he shouldn't resign. Athwal acknowledged issues like black mould and safety hazards.
Athwal expressed fury over the poor state of his flats after tenants cited problems, including mouldy ceilings and inadequate safety measures, highlighting his failure in landlord responsibilities.
Amid rising calls for resignation, Ms. Powell's support illustrates a complex political landscape, where accountability and party loyalty intersect, especially in housing-related tragedies.
Athwal admitted that his properties lack the necessary licenses under local housing regulations, raising serious concerns about compliance and the welfare of his tenants.
