    How many people are prosecuted for not paying the licence fee?
    If you do not pay the licence fee, you can be taken to court, and fined up to Β£1,000 (Β£2,000 in Guernsey) plus legal costs and/or compensation.

    The most recent figures show there were 25,550 convictions for licence fee evasion in 2024.

    You cannot be sent to prison for licence fee evasion, but you can be jailed for failing to pay the resulting fine.

    In March 2025, the TV licensing body estimated that around 88% of households which need a TV licence had one.

    It said officers visited more than 1.9 million addresses over the previous 12 months, and found more than 64,000 people watching live TV without a licence.

    It said Β£166m had been spent collecting the licence fee during the period.

  6. "Homelessness campaigners welcomed the move, but warned more will need to be done to tackle the longer-term temporary accommodation crisis, which has given the UK the worst homelessness problem in the western world."

    10+ years of Tories will do that...

  11. Look what the priorities are for this Government, fucking AI Datacentres....while our lakes and rivers dry up!

  16. Today, the average English home costs 7.7x median earnings, up from around 4x in the late 1990s. It's not avocado toast. Working young people are structurally worse off.
