I posted this on reddit's legal advice UK subreddit but I'll repost it here to see what advice I can get.

Hello, I have just moved to a new city and into shared accomodation. I had moved most of my stuff in when I realised the door to my room did not have a lock on it. I have a key to the front and the back doors (which if not actually locked can be opened from the outside without a key).

I did some cursory research, which indicated that houses of multiple occupancy are required to have locks on the rooms, and texted my landlord to request a lock for my room. He said it wasn't possible, as he did not want to be called out for when people lose their keys. I pushed back a bit, stating that from my understanding that it is the law that shared houses have locks on the rooms, and he responded by telling not to "guess the law", that he is a professional landlord, that he does not need this on a Sunday evening, and that if I don't like it he is willing to void the contract and I can find somewhere else.

I've decided to leave it there for now, but wanted to ask you folk, what is the legality of this? Do I have a leg to stand on here?

e: Also this is in England

For context, I am a 30 year old professional, this is not student housing. It is just the room I am renting, I have an en suite but there is a shared kitchen.

Do you have a tenancy agreement for your specific room or does it cover the entire house? If the former, then your room should have a lock. If the latter - a shared tenancy agreement - then no, the landlord doesn't have to provide internal locks.

Cummings relying on the submissive spineless of Tory MPs not to rebel, even in the face of disaster, is probably a smart move tbh.

edit: this cat would def rebel

I worry that this is just theatrics on the part of the rebels and i think the vote tommorow might be very close, the rebels have been spineless for the majority of the time...

I would imagine that come an actual election, when Lib Dem campaigners will be expected to canvas for unvarnished straight-up Tories, we may see some friction.

I mean, can anyone just run on 'you know what let's just loving stop brexit'? It feels like this 'extend it more' game is gonna grow pretty weak pretty fast, is brexit as a concept really something enough people still are on board with the opposition can't just go 'no, gently caress this'?

Yes, a lot of lifelong Labour voters still want Brexit.

I peeked in on the Mail's website to see this take on all this - and surprisingly they're also taking the line that Boris is being a loving idiot and is ruining everything. They said his first PMQs was a "calamitous" disaster.

Confirmed that Labour will not vote in favour of an election on Monday; the leadership has been talked down from previous gung ho approach. Thank gently caress for that. Much as I like and admire Jez and fully support his policies, he and the people around him have an alarming lack of basic strategic sense.

As clearly demonstrated by them blocking Johnson into a corner and making his only option a vote of no confidence in himself. If only they had some strategic sense though... :(

As good a time as any to remind everyone that people literally pushed aside LU workers in order to get into the visibly-burning Kings Cross station. Every single person that died on the escalators, and maybe half the people that died in the ticket hall, literally walked into a burning building.

What's your source on this?

Full report on Kings Cross fire. Chapter 9 is events on the night.

http://www.berrison.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/Kings-Cross-Fire.pdf

NHS colleagues who were on duty that night at UCH had to lay bodies out in the Goods In yard because there were so many. One said they were all holding it together until someone brought out the body of a child.

Thanks! I also tried to look it up online and failed. Wasn't doubting this was the case, but that fire has always interested me. It's sad that the plaque commemorating it in the station is now usually behind a notice board.

I read chapter 9 of that report and it doesn't say anything about passengers pushing past firemen to go into a burning building. It says passengers were directed up the Victoria line escalators by firemen.

You like fire? Have you read about the Iroquois Theatre fire? I often bring it up I'm working in a theatre and people start trying to skimp on the width of gaps, or pile stuff in fire exits, and I feel like being That Guy.

TLDR: You couldn't design a better death trap if you tried, and the failings would be hilariously terrible if not for all the dead people.

I did a course on fire safety at work recently and it really stuck with me - especially because most of the time it's lovely landlords and bosses cutting corners and regular people dying horribly as a result.

There's no such thing as 'just between us mates' though when it comes to insults. If that was the case then we'd be ok with calling Sajid Javid a P**i or Ruth Davison the f-word or Chuka Umunna the n-word because, hey they're not part of the in-crowd so it's fine, right? You wouldn't accept that when it comes to race or sexuality so why are you cool with it when it's about looks?

That's a bit of a leap.
