Congratulations to JCWI who have been granted permission to challenge the #RightToRent in the High Court. This is a central tenant of the #HostileEnvironment and has been shown to encourage discrimination. I raised the issue in Home Office questions a few weeks ago

Theresa May deliberately moved to institutionalise racism through her #HostileEnvironment policies including #RightToRent .
This is a crushing defeat for a government who learnt they could not co-opt landlords into their state sponsored xenophobia.
Result!
Govt response to #RightToRent judgment shows (willful?) inability to join dots or consider responsibilities to people affected. #covid19uk & impact on people of colour + #Windrush Lessons = racially discriminatory policies on housing acceptable? No. In solidarity with JCWI.
10 months ago the High Court ruled that the #RightToRent scheme encourages racism and is beyond repair.
Tomorrow we'll be back in Court as the government is spending hundreds of thousands of pounds to appeal the High Court ruling.
The PM must end the #HostileEnvironment .
