Council slammed for 'neglect' and 'disregard' on social housing insidecroydon.com/2025/09/03/c... #Lambeth #Housing #Ombudsman @kwajo.bsky.social

Kwajo Tweneboa @kwajo.bsky.social @bbcnewsnight.bsky.social making sense about asylum, work and housing through the daily dose of small boat scaremongering on #newsnight.

Great to hear @kwajo.bsky.social speaking so passionately about the housing crisis and the urgent need for everyone to have a decent, safe and secure home at today's @thefabians.bsky.social Housing Mission Summit. As he says 'homes are our foundation, they are as necessary as food and water.'

🚨 The nurse of a Stage 4 brain tumour patient reached out as her patient is homeless and Thurrock Council isn’t helping him. Without temporary accommodation/stable housing he won’t receive the treatment he needs. PLEASE SHARE.

@kwajo.bsky.social is rousing the room with his story of lived experience of #homelessness, and challenging us to ask the hard questions at the @worldhabitat.bsky.social conference today.

'It's a national disgrace - the worst housing crisis we have faced since WWII.' '160,000 homeless kids in England alone.' @kwajo.bsky.social tells @matthew-wright.bsky.social that people living in 'slum' conditions are waiting on the government to fulfil its promised housebuilding targets.

If the Treasury fail to provide Angela with the funding needed to deliver enough social homes in the Spending Review, they can wave goodbye to building 1.5 million new homes. A promise made to the country Worse still, they’ll be condemning an entire generation to a cycle of poverty and homelessness

INVESTIGATION 🚨 Every 2 minutes a patient in mental health crisis goes to A&E, where they are twice as likely to wait over 12 hours Lauren waited six days in A&E to get a bed when experiencing psychosis In today's @thetimes.com with @kwajo.bsky.social 🧵👇 www.thetimes.com/uk/healthcar...

This investigation took @lucascumiskey.bsky.social months of work – submitting FOI requests and challenging refusals, crunching the data and figuring out how to present it all. Click through and you can see the data visualised in a few different ways, including geographically.

Labour set a target of 1.5m homes while campaigning in last year's election. Yet it's still refusing to put a number on how many should be for social rent – the type of housing that 1.3m households are waiting for.

🔴 Big exclusive leading Hyphen this morning – data from 119 councils shows half didn't greenlight a SINGLE social rent home in Labour's first six months. Some of these councils have waiting lists for social housing well over 10k. Full story here 👇 hyphenonline.com/2025/05/19/h...

@nagsheadestate.bsky.social on the news last night + today. A huge shout out to @kwajo.bsky.social for saying it how it is. The policies of the last decades have created a housing situation that harms our health but just as these decisions were made, they can be unmade.

Record numbers of kids living like this. It's costing us billions in temporary accomodation bills now, and more importantly, risks costing those kids their futures. Good to see the Childrens' Commissioner and @kwajo.bsky.social on the case. news.sky.com/story/childr...

Shameful. Even if there is a calculator where your heart should be, the least you have to understand is how much damage this causes to the economy. While the situation is this dire, there is not going to be any growth, there is not going to be a reduction in crime, and the NHS remains broken.

Housing is the foundation for life, you cannot build nothing on this level of homelessness.

🚨 I spoke to kids from a primary school where 25% of them are homeless, I wanted you to hear directly from them. Education is the biggest opportunity for children from disadvantaged backgrounds to break free from poverty. They’re being denied that opportunity.

Steamrolling over the country's most vulnerable... wasn't the change the majority of the country believed they were voting for

Last training run done before Sunday’s half marathon. I know I’ve been pestering a lot and I’m SO grateful for so many donations - but if we could make it to £2k before the race, that would be incredible! It’s for a great cause. Thanks for all the support 🏃‍♂️ www.gofundme.com/f/liam-raise...

The incentive to work = Pay We all have bills to pay. Real wages in the UK are lower in 2025 than what they were in 2008 Maybe. Just maybe, that’s the problem.

Signed. Social and _really_ affordable housing vital.

Thank you to everyone sharing and signing my open letter ❤️ We’ll get the answers we deserve.

Let’s give a hand and help Kwajo hold Angela Rayner to account

I've signed it, why don't you?

Great to see @kwajo.bsky.social asking the key question - #HowManyHomes for social rent? ⤵️ ourhomeourfutures.org

Labour said they’ll build 1.5 million homes. They haven’t said how many will be council or social rent. I’m now asking Angela Rayner to give us numbers. 🚨 Sign my open letter: ourhomeourfutures.org Please share 🙏🏽 #ourhomeourfutures

"Living in poor-quality housing, and feeling like you are powerless to protect yourself and your loved ones from its negative impact, can have terrible repercussions on people’s mental health." Says Housing activist, @kwajo.bsky.social in our latest guest blog. Read more here:

Over 570,000 private renters have reported poor housing conditions to their local council. However, no action was taken in 90% of cases, and fewer than 1% resulted in a landlord being prosecuted. That’s how serious complaints are taken when raised ...

Speaking at our event @kwajo.bsky.social warns that over-crowding will only increase if young people continue to be priced out of moving into private rented accomodation or buying homes of their own. That's why a massive expansion of house building, always promised, never delivered, is so important.

🚨Event Thursday🚨 Ethnic inequalities in housing affordability and conditions remain under-discussed. Join us on Thursday where we'll discuss with leading experts, including Chair of the HCLG Select Committee Florence Eshalomi MP and @kwajo.bsky.social Register ➡️ https://buff.ly/4gopukT

3 year old Abiyah Yasharahyalah body was found buried in a back garden. The body was discovered 9 months after his parents were evicted. The young boy was found to have been suffering with health issues and injuries including bone fractures, rickets, anaemia, stunted growth and severe dental decay

First time on BBC Newsnight tonight 🎥

No child chooses to be born into poverty. It’s a political choice and down to political inaction.

🚨LAMBETH COUNCIL (AGAIN): Has left this resident living in this state since 2019. Since then his home has fallen to bits, including sewage filling his bath regularly. He said it’s destroying his mental health whilst Lambeth Council don’t seem to care at all. Please share 🙏🏽

Thank you @amnestyuk.bsky.social for hosting this chat with @kwajo.bsky.social It was as shocking & moving as it was hopeful. In a room full of people who care about everyday human rights & are taking action. I’ve loved reading Kwajo’s book to prepare. Buy it ⬇️ guardianbookshop.com/our-country-...

I only read one book to review for work this year, but it was a really good one - @kwajo.bsky.social’s Our Country in Crisis: Britain’s Housing Emergency and How We Rebuild. You can read what I made of it and our chat about it here www.insidehousing.co.uk/insight/kwaj...

Hope in homelessness. Today, 200 leaders from homelessness organisations across England are gathered to share and learn about housing and homelessness. Our opening speakers, Emma Haddad CEO of @stmungos.bsky.social and @kwajo.bsky.social, have set the scene brilliantly.

@kwajo.bsky.social - great (shocking) speech today at the Homeless Link Conference. 👏🏾👏🏾

Currently listening to @kwajo.bsky.social at the Homeless Link leadership summit and am really inspired. @homelesslink.bsky.social Come and see is at The Connection.

Over 159,000+ homeless children in England will go to sleep tonight without a permanent home to return to after school.

🚨The number of homeless kids in England has increased (again) from 151,000 to 159,000+ since March this year. Another shameful record broken.
