Fucked Up Britain Rant

Question - I understand that she wants to find council accommodation, but if she can afford the rent on your brother's flat ... surely she can afford to rent another flat? She's had 3 months.

Not necessarily. If the brothers flat is reasonably priced and she was lucky to find it in the first place it may not be that easy to get another without spending £500/month on a bedsit. And even if she did do that, if she wants to get into council accomodation that will just postpone the inevitable, and while it would make things easy on the brother she'd just have to do the same thing to someone else.
