Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn and Scottish Labour leader Richard Leonard
LABOUR became the first major political party to pledge support for Living Rent’s campaign against evictions caused by universal credit tonight.
British party leader Jeremy Corbyn and his Scottish counterpart Richard Leonard joined the Scottish tenants’ union in calling on housing associations to ensure no tenant faces eviction due to arrears caused by the benefit.
Mr Leonard said the campaign had Labour’s “unwavering support.”
