Описание: We talk about food poverty and fuel poverty, but almost never about rent poverty. Yet rent is now the biggest driver of inequality in Britain. Thatcher’s deregulation turned homes into speculative assets, and tenants into disposable people. It’s time for a change. In this video, I explain why rent poverty is central to our inequality crisis — and why Britain urgently needs a new Rent Act.
