Tax avoidance: Newham eviction mums lead national day of action against dodger Vodafone with Oxford Street kids' party
UK Uncut returns to shame multinational for reported £6bn tax write-off

Homeless young mums took over Vodafone’s flagship London store as part of a national day of action on Saturday, amid rising anger over the company’s tax avoidance record.

The group is being threatened with eviction from temporary accommodation at the Focus E15 hostel in the London Borough of Newham.

“We won’t stop protesting until this government stops the cuts and makes corporations pay their fair share,” said E15 mother and organiser Jasmine Stone.
