Senior members of the Conservative Party have been engaging in secret discussions with major landlords to devise strategies aimed at delaying or defeating the government's renters' rights bill. This includes potential legal challenges citing human rights law. Shadow housing minister Jane Scott hosted a meeting where various tactics, such as repeated amendments in the House of Lords, were considered. Critics have accused the Tories of collusion with landlords, raising concerns about their commitment to housing reforms despite previously supporting similar legislation.
Anny Cullum of Acorn stated that the comments by Baroness Scott confirmed suspicions of a coordinated attempt by landlords and supporters to frustrate renters' rights.
Polly Neate from Shelter remarked that after years of waiting for reforms, it's disgraceful that a few self-interested peers are using delay tactics against the renters' bill.
