A quarter of Tory MPs are private landlords

We came across this posting recently. It is clear that Open Democracy and parts of the Labour Party are critical of Tory politicians who are also landlords. Fair enough.

“The landlords include Boris Johnson, who started renting out his Grade II-listed cottage in Oxfordshire last month, having reportedly advertised it at £4,250 a month. The prime minister also part-owns houses in London and Somerset, which he also rents out. Martin Williams, openDemocracy.”

Is this the right moment to remind readers that roughly a quarter of Newham councillors are also private landlords?

What’s good for the goose…?
