This story followed on from my exclusive the week before about Ms Osamor living in a council house. Though examining her voting record I discovered that she had consistently voted against rent being raised for higher earners, those where the household earns over £40,000, in social housing meaning her rent was kept low.

A SHAMELESS Labour MP voted against raising rent for high earners living in social housing — keeping her own lower.
In three votes in 2015 and 2016, Labour's Shadow Development Secretary Kate Osamor blocked government proposals that would have seen her pay market rent.
The plans classed high earners as households where two adults earn £20,000 each or more.
The Edmonton MP, 50, and her convicted drug-dealer son Ishmael, 29, live in a £750,000 social housing pad in Tottenham, North London — despite earning a joint £130,000.
Ms Osamor, paid £77,000 a year, also blocked plans for fund-ing to help social housing tenants to access right-to-buy schemes.
Tory MP Chris Philp said: "As usual with Labour, it's a case of do as we say, not as we do.
"It's staggering that with a salary of over £75,000, Kate Osamor is taking up social housing when her own constituents are on waiting lists."
Ms Osamor's office declined to comment.
