Jas Athwal , MP for Ilford South, is the biggest landlord in parliament with 15 properties.
BBC investigation finds some of his flats are infested with ants and riddled with mould.
Tenants claim they have repeatedly reported the issues to the management company, with some tenants told to move somewhere else if they weren’t happy.
To its credit, Labour has committed to trying to redress the imbalance in our broken rental system through ending no-fault evictions and extending Awaab ’s law (alongside vague promises about building more homes to increase affordability). But I will only know Starmer is serious about these issues when he does two things: ban landlords in parliament and remove the whip from Jas Athwal . - Ben Smoke is a commissioning editor at Huck .
