How can student property portals like #rebellproperty win awards when they have no #accessible student accommodation? Not the only one. Anyone know of #wheelchair adapted property near @edgehill uni?

Already #TaxedOut at 20% VAT (twice the rate in France, Italy & Spain) - and in Edinburgh thanks to @scotgov & @Edinburgh_CC, we will soon be taxing visitors at 26%!
(VAT, #VisitorLevy, and VAT on VL)
