Frankly that is unacceptable and where was the security
He is likely to be our next PM and his security should be the same and equal to Sunak
The Protest or Power line was good though.

A Tory MP was caught on CCTV ripping a security camera off the home he rents to a single mum he has been battling to evict for months. Gary Streeter, who has been an MP since 1992, has been trying to get mother-of-one Layla Williams out from a bungalow on his farm. Layla, 38, initially moved in to look after Streeter's flock of horses in 2018 and house-sit while he and his wife were away after she started working for him two years earlier. But the mum - who admits she hasn't paid rent since January - claims since he asked her and her 12-year-old son to move out, his actions has left them both fearful. She had already installed security cameras at her home on the farm in Plympton, Devon, - and has now captured footage of him "angrily" ripping them down. Other videos she has recorded include him attempting to bash the cameras with a stick - and returning in what she said was a "panic" to try and fix it after dumping in the bushes. Footage also shows Streeter letting himself in through her gate - and looking in through the windows - including while Layla said she and her son were sleeping.

I fear they are burying the lead here, which is "Veteran Tory MP successfully breeds flying horses - Sunak hails yet another dividend from HS2 cancellation".
He's going to - correctly - get his nuts roasted for that, if she goes for him under harassment laws and the Protection from Eviction Act 1977.
He could get himself a criminal record, and be barred from renting out property.
He's a f*cking idiot - she has made the mistake of stopping paying the rent many months ago, so he would get (and should already have got) an eviction by normal legal process.

Mind you it’s the Met Diplomatic Protection Squad so they were probably off strip searching the female half of the audience.
It is not the headlines he would want and he understandably looked scared
He dealt with it well and good for him
And then a crappy cringey joke about his wife.
Win some, lose some, I suppose.
How many of these stunts now?

He isn't going to close foodbanks, let alone solve stuff, soon. Hence the emphasis on 'a decade'. And that we are a morally better version than the other lot. He's doing OK with a tough deal of cards.
Houses, Houses, houses,,,thats all that matters, and he's right.
The basic principle is that a tenanted property belongs to the tenant for the duration of the tenancy, and they have a right to quiet enjoyment - which is why they can legally change locks etc and deny the landlord access.
He should just have followed the legal eviction process and not gone near it whilst that was proceeding. He didn't and he will have to accept any consequences for his actions - LLs harassing tenants get zero tolerance from anyone, including Magistrates and District Judges.
What is MMG?
Played correctly, this is another scandal for Rishi.

Cue @Leon about how it's someone else...

Imagine Corbyn saying Tory voters....we want you....
If this is a good thing or not, I'm not sure.
Kudos due.
But that's not politically easy, and it'll be easier for a Starmer government to kick some of the issues into the long grass.
It’s all feeling a bit… global.
Tenancy law works - as we all know - on fairly objective and fairly clear criteria, with Courts there to make judgements.
"I disagree with my tenant about X" doesn't mean a lot ! As it doesn't as an excuse for hitting someone over the head with a beer bottle.
The harassment is a course of action, so he can't plead "moment of madness"; if he's called to account it would be a fine, perhaps compensation, or maybe a community punishment or suspended sentence. Unless the police go for a formal caution or community resolution.
Personally, I hope she really goes for him, and he gets what he deserves. On this particular sort of issue - bad behaviour by landlords - I am a hanger and flogger.
His best action now, as 9 months ago, would be to offer her a cash settlement to relinquish the tenancy.
Then coalition negotiations with Starmer and his ‘houses houses houses’ pledge, and it’s tuition fees all over again…
This is worth a read.
Unlike nearly all other arts, architecture is inherently public and shared. That means that buildings should be designed to be agreeable – easy to like – not to be unpopular works of genius.

...I believe that the ‘traditionalist’ framing is indeed a mistake, and that there is no reason to favour traditional styles per se. But there are important reasons why we should favour some architectural styles over others – reasons that are special to architecture, and that set it apart from music, literature, painting or film. Architecture is a public art, a vernacular art, and a background art: it is created by a huge range of people, and experienced involuntarily by an even wider one. This means that we need architectural styles that are as accessible as possible, to the full range of people who live with what we build, and to the full range of builders who create it. Some ‘traditional’ styles might well be useful in achieving this, but it is not their being traditional that matters: any style with broad and deep appeal will do just as well..

I think active language and the idea of something happening wins in politics. See the simple beauty of “get Brexit done” and ignoring all nuance.
I don’t personally have a problem with such political protest, it’s part of long and noble tradition. No-one was hurt or inconvenienced, with no damage done except to the reputation of the SKS security team, who should have bundled him off the stage well before he got close to their VIP.
Very different to blocking a public road, causing damage to property, or forcing the cancellation of a sporting event.
...bollocks to that.
All that glitters is not gold.
In England there are something over 100 Acts of Parliament which apply to tenancies in England. It is complex.
The law's attitude to mistreatment of tenants can be quite astringent if it goes down that route.
I complain about some things - especially incompetent and unnecessarily expensive implementation, but strong protection of tenants from harassment is spot on.
Whether Labour can deliver on that - that’s the million dollar question. As a GE narrative though, they've got their finger on the pulse.
Fecking evil nutters.
They'll have bite marks next.
Did you fact check before posting?
