Labour MP Jas Athwal Faces Rogue Landlord Allegations

Newly elected Labour MP Jas Athwal, who promised to combat rogue landlords, is now facing serious allegations of being a rogue landlord himself. Athwal, the largest landlord in the House of Commons with 15 rental properties, is accused of renting out flats infested with black mould and ants, with residents reporting severe health and safety issues. Tenants have also claimed threats of eviction if they complained about the conditions. Despite Athwal's insistence that his properties are managed by an agency and that he was unaware of these issues, a BBC investigation revealed that his flats do not have the necessary property licences, a system he introduced as Redbridge Council leader. Athwal has expressed shock and remorse, pledging immediate action to rectify the problems. Calls for an investigation by the Labour Party and Redbridge Council have been made to ensure accountability and tenant safety.
