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.

Check your contract- if you're specifically renting the room then you're entitled to have that room secured in the same way if you were renting the whole house then you'd expect the external door to have a lock.

Managed to convince my mum and brother to vote Labour last night. My brother doesn't care about politics and my mum doesn't like Corbyn and wants to vote Greens to save the planet, but after much cajoling and reminding how we used benefits growing up they came round.

Problem is where do they live and with the very young where will they be living during November? Like the issue with Labour going hard remain to get more Remainers, it doesn't matter if all these new voters are in safe seats and doesn't really matter if they're in places where Labour is a distant 3rd.

It looks good and will help motivate but there's going to have to be a shitload of work put in to turn that into an electoral impact.

i mean if the tories can secure their right flank against the brexit party, they'll crush a split lib/lab vote in an election

and going to prison in defence of no deal is definitely out-faraging farage

Would it actually be prison though? He might be bound by law to do something but that doesn't exactly mean that he's going to be arrested and sentenced on the spot for not doing it. It'd just compound the constitutional issues that have been woken up and make his dictorial desires more obvious while hopefully parliament still has the authority to do something about it.

Since Johnson could keep on ruling a minority government there does need to be continued pressure on everyone in parliament to actually have an election. The lib dems will gently caress around as much as possible to insist the referendum happens first or something and there's still a lot of the Labour right and Remainers being fuckwits about the whole thing.

Arguably this is good.

Gammons will vote BXP en masse and split the Tory vote. Lib Dems will be the party that stole our Brexit and, having already implemented the single biggest policy point that would make Labour voters defect to them, will split the Lab vote less.

You're assuming that remain beats no deal in the referendum.

You're also missing that the referendum going first would require Labour to enable it, that tarnishes Labour significantly with leavers and ruins the brand of them being radical when they line up with a lot of parliament to basically force a return to the status quo.

I think its pretty safe for opposition to block elections until after the 31st since Johnson cannot govern effectively in a minority government.

I'm actually more worried about the lib dems and other right wingers not voting for an election after this moment in time has passed.

No they won�t, nobody believes they�ll get a majority so revocation is a non entity.

It�s a desperate attempt to remain relevant and won�t work.

If polly fuckin toynbee is saying Corbyn is our only hope, the Lib Dem�s are hosed.

Nah the policy will split the right wing harder than it'll split any Remainers - post 31st there's reasons to vote Brexit Party and lib dems but only tribalism to vote Tory because they aren't going to outdo either side on Brexit and are still just awful domestically.

This is actually really good because it's the lib dems that will try and weasel out of an election once they've got an extension again.

Its also really bad for the lib dems because this escalation strategy may be pulling Labour but it'll end in them having to have rejoining the EU as a policy platform after we leave and that's going to be a disasterious approach for them.

The trouble is even 1% seems like far too little to bridge the chasm. Something like 30% seems more reasonable for achieving the stated goals. But of course if increased immigration is very difficult to advocate for and must be done by stealth, then slightly impoverishing the population for the good of the developing world is comically and absurdly so.

I mean if even the loving socialist international cannot commit to it past a token gesture then what chance could it possibly have as an electoral position.

Dream now is that since we need to crash reform our entire global power network anyway we just give huge green energy producing tech to everywhere in the world while also hopefully creating international green energy networks which does a lot of equalizing while also saving human civilisation.

If leaving the EU allows Corbyn to create unlimited energy machines then why haven't we left already?

Alternatively there's a high concept sci-fi plot here about time travellers having to interfere in human history to stop the development of the infinite energy machines before we reach communism or else we'd boil ourselves to death from the waste heat of everyone using them all the time for profit.

In the same speech Blythe also said that capitalism will fix global warming on it's own once it gets serious enough. Implying that we shouldn't worry about it now.

He elaborates in a different version of that talk where he basically expects the USA to do the right thing when it's tried every other option first - the country will ignore (yup), delay (yup), blame others (sort of, it's coming with China/India for sure), half arse a solution (carbon capture) but when the drinking water in Miami (I think is the example he gave) is permanently rendered undrinkable then suddenly the capitalist forces of the USA and the world will be forced to make the radical changes needed to preserve their own place in the system. The costs to green the global economy are supposedly about 3% of global GDP over a number of years so even if it's actually a lot more than that then it's within the realms of possibility.

It ignores tipping points, capitalist selfcentredness and stupidity and the horrendous costs of waiting that long but his general belief is that capitalism is simply too resilient to collapse forever or be replaced so the world system will eventually do whatever it has to to keep existing.

In my opinion the problem is that by the time the effects of global warming become so bad that it forces the hand of capitalism. It could be too late. If not too late for humanity then at least too late for billions of poor people.

Since prescriptions are already means tested, a free prescription policy would mainly benefit middle-class voters, particularly elderly people.

Which makes rejecting that policy a really weird thing if she wants any kind of liberal base.

Liberal policies are so heavily slanted to benefiting the rich while trying to appear to not be so slanted that they have to attack universal policies of provision like this so they have something, ANYTHING to point to to say 'actually we aren't in the pocket of the rich, we're saying they need to pay [potentially really minor expense]'

A mistake being made by Johnson is, I think, assuming that 'the people' = 'brexiteers' when half of them aren't.

The 'people v parliament' is the big print copy headline on FT tomorrow.

If the media fall into that narrative for the election they're as culpable for the incoming deaths as he is.
