POOR families are being “socially cleansed” from Britain’s biggest cities because of the Tory housing crisis, Jeremy Corbyn warned yesterday.

The Labour leader said people living in privately rented homes are being forced out of their communities as a consequence of government’s failure to regulate landlords.

He spoke of the growing “unfairness” under the Tories as he launched the party’s campaign for elections being held in Scotland, Wales and English county boroughs on May 5.
