It adds that 137,773 renting households are at risk of losing their homes.
That kind of thing has been on the agenda for a while as in the link below. https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2015/aug/28/vast-social-cleansing-pushes-tens-of-thousands-of-families-out-of-london It will move up a gear again very soon as they have lowered the Cap on benefits again and will hit the London poor the hardest as you can’t get much in the way of housing or you don’t get much change to live on out of £20-25K per year. It was also covered in I Daniel Blake with the ‘Essex girl’ single mother being socially cleansed to Newcastle. https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/davehillblog/2016/nov/10/london-boroughs-prepare-for-impacts-of-tightened-benefit-cap Which is pretty shit really because the beer up there is crap never mind the football teams.

But if he is wishes to experience a proper football match and a proper night out on the "Toon" he should forsake his pseudo northern existence in Manchester and come to the real Northern Powerhouse. I am happy to act as a native guide and translation expert (the natives,apparently have strong regional accents!)YFSTim
