Mums campaigning for social housing occupied the housing provider East Thames offices yesterday — a year after having been evicted from the provider’s Focus E15 hostel in east London.

The now famous Focus E15 mothers group — who previously occupied a flat in a abandoned block on the Carpenters estate — turned the entrance of the office into a creche for the day, while waiting to speak to senior managers.

Campaigners had heard of possible new evictions at their former hostel and demanded an explanation from East Thames, which reportedly made a staggering £17 million profit in the last year.
