The prime minister is pushing ahead with a plan to end no-fault evictions in England, despite enormous opposition from within his own party.
The Renters (Reform) Bill had been put on ice, thanks to opposition from many Tory MPs. Eighty-seven MPs earn an income from residential property, of which 68 are Conservatives.
But four years after the measure was first promised, Rishi Sunak has given the green light for the legislation to return to parliament. The move was prompted by an open letter from 60 MPs demanding the reforms, including former Conservative housing secretary Eric Pickles.
