I generally agree with Ava in that going after any aspect of someone's appearance is lowest-common-denominator and lacks heft. However, I think it's important to remember that no amount of Labor minding their P's and Q's will induce the Tories into fighting an election honorably or actually engaging on the issues.

Angela Rayner surprised the Tories today by stealing their thunder by addressing the issue of housing. She successfully countered Dowden's prepared attacks and left him with no ammunition to respond. Dowden looked dazed and struggled to deliver his lines, which were poorly received. I am surprised at the split at the table regarding Angela Rayner's comment about the "Pint-sized loser". There was no fact-checking done, but if there had been, it would have been found that Rayner cleverly used the words of a former Conservative minister who had described Rishi Sunak as a "Pint-sized loser". The minister in question is Nadine Dorries. It is interesting to note that, when Boris Johnson was Prime Minister, he would often pair Sunak with 6ft + treasury ministers to make him look even smaller.

I don't get this brushing off of the "pint-sized" thing. Would it be OK for a politician to call Therese Coffey a "fat loser"? Or, god forbid, call Sunak a "brown-skinned loser"? After all, that's just their appearance, right? So it's OK? Of course it's not. The problem is that it implies being short is inherently a bad thing, and it associates Sunak's height with his political failures, which isn't fair. He's failed politically because he's bad at politics and his party has shit policies.

@mandywalker5873 3 ай бұрын

Think characteristics like short and tall are just facts people can't do anything to change that and someone's height shouldn't diminish their power so is an empty dig! I'm short and being called most of the names associated with that for me just highlights the other person's weakness!!

being brown or black are just facts people can't do anything to change too. And it's very well proven that short people are routinely discriminated against on the basis of their height. Taller people get paid more on average than shorter people in big companies. Especially tall men. When scientific studies show people pictures of men's faces along with how tall that person supposedly is and are then asked to rank those people by how competent and trustworthy they are the tallest ones get ranked higher than the short ones. It's not as severe as race or gender discrimination of course. But It's still there. It still has real effects on peoples lives. And when you have someone like Sunak where there are just soo many other things that he has chosen to do or be that you can attack him for i be feel using his height isn't great

Agreed, and I benefit from my landlords being my best mates and somehow my rent has never gone up in 6 years except once by a tenner. I don't begrudge my mates getting paid for making sure I didn't become homeless (they have money and I didn't) but exceptions shouldn't prove the rule. If there wasn't a profitable rental market then those properties would universally be cheaper and swapping hands a lot more, and I wouldn't have had to rely on richer friends having a spare flat they originally got for their son once he graduated. I got lucky but still feeling the money pinch with a full time NHS job and cheap rent. There's a whole lot more people worse off than me and if legislation came through that shafts me but helps the majority I'd gladly take the hit to help others. ...probably also helps having the NHS mindset too, helping others no matter what etc. because before I worked here I was a right selfish prick. :D

@chromenewt 3 ай бұрын

I sort of agree. It's better to be universally consistent but height doesn't historically create the same prejudices that the other categories still have. They're different certainly, but I think Ed's point is height isn't something culturally limiting in the same way so feels less awful to poke fun at. Consistency though is best. Better to not have a dig at anyone's appearances (although Johnson's lack of hair discipline is fair game because he's just awful, like a hairy moldy blond cherry on the shit cake of a narcissistic serial liar)

In Wales, under the Renting Homes (Wales) Act 2016, which came into effect on 1 December 2022, Landlords must now provide a minimum notice period of six months for "no-fault evictions", and they cannot serve this notice within the first six months of occupancy, effectively ensuring a minimum tenancy term of 12 months. For tenants, the notice period to leave a property has generally been set at one month.

@cbeam9297 3 ай бұрын

Totally on board with the sentiment around housing, but the specifics of why there is a problem are being missed, I think. Most tenancies granted by the private rented sector are Assured Shorthold Tenancies which automatically become periodic when the fixed term ends (which is also when a Section 21 notice can be served). Fixed term vs periodic is important with respect to when the tenant can serve notice to leave and when rent can be increased, but in principle if Section 21 could no longer be relied on then security of tenure would be the same in either case. The big problem with addressing major disrepair isn't one of capital to pay for legal representation (disrepair which presents a serious health risk is eligible for legal aid), although availability of representation is an issue; the main problem is that a tenant attempting to exercise their legal rights will in most cases be met with a Section 21 notice in retaliation which effectively nullifies any protections for tenants and puts them in a position of having to accept whatever conditions their landlord chooses to impose on them under duress.

I think Ava meant a s21 not s8, which is eviction on the grounds of rent arrears. But as a case worker for a homeless charity, many of the people who contact my organisation are homeless or facing imminent homelessness because of a s21 notice. The immediate knock on effect is for councils to step in - trouble is they have neither social housing nor many landlords willing to accept their referrals. I know of families in NW London - with children at school - being offered accommodation in Blackpool, Nottingham and Glasgow. All because of the shortage of housing, the ease of the eviction process and the lunacy of unregulated rental charges.
