LONG-GRASSING? The Minister's remarks on @LBC at the crack of dawn on Saturday are distressing. @UKLabour promised to return politics to public service. But their handling of the leasehold and fleecehold agenda feels aloof and will only fuel disillusionment with our democracy.
🚨@UKLabour LEAVES LEASEHOLDERS AT BREAKING POINT🚨 On the weekend, the Housing Minister let slip to @LBC radio that leaseholders can now expect to wait up to a whole Parliament to be freed. We don’t have 5 more years! And this isn’t what was pledged in the King’s Speech.

This is just so disappointing to hear Labour now backtracking on what was promised not only in your manifesto, but in the King's Speech. I know it's complex, but that work has already been done in LAFRA 2024. Life is completely on hold for myself and many others. Act NOW!!

@mtpennycook I voted for Labour on the basis of abolishing leasehold “quickly”. You’ve shown very little commitment to freeing people from this trap. Instead you continue to backtrack. We’re going to get nowhere with your false pledges. Please sort this immediately!

So the poor would be excluded then?

The courts are there to protect the powerful and lock up the poor... Britain's 2 tier justice has always existed like this! The country is a fkg joke!
Coming up to 3000 days, no justice, no one charged, no one arrested. And we know every single name of every single person involved. Justice is only for you, they can get away with anything.

Lawyers warning housing associations it won't be as easy to repossess shared ownership flats and advising them to train their staff so they can use forfeiture instead. Lovely.

As long as @UKLabour persists with the feudal freehold-leasehold system in 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 5M leasehold houses and flats will never belong to the Britons who have mortgages on them. Activating the Leasehold & Freehold Reform Act (LAFRA) would be a good start @mtpennycook @Keir_Starmer
A Britain that belongs to you. That’s what this Labour Government will deliver.

You are all the same, just grifters seeing what you can get out of the system before you are booted.

On abolishing leasehold, since Apr 2024 @UKLabour have gone from: - ‘In our first 100 days’ to - ‘At the earliest opportunity’ to - ‘In due course’ and now - ‘We reiterate our commitment to act’ to - ‘Our long term plan is…’ Enable LAFRA @mtpennycook @AngelaRayner
🌹DAY 1, LABOUR CONFERENCE🌹 Deputy Prime Minister and Housing Secretary makes her Opening Speech to Labour Party Conference. @AngelaRayner pledges to FREE leaseholders. Get in!

Wow 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 if only you had highrise freehold (Commonhold) flats like the one I owned in Australia early 1990s (I worked for the developer); it had sprinkler systems, fire alarms and 2x fire escapes @Keir_Starmer @mtpennycook @AngelaRayner @CommonholdNow
Earlier this year, there was a block fire in Wembley. I went days later and spoke to 30+ residents who said ‘fire alarms didn’t go off during the fire’. Their building also had ‘unsafe cladding’ on it at the time.

Nonsense! I’m an EXPERT in Commonhold tenure (trained, qualified, experienced and owned in a few countries) and it IS superior ownership vs leasehold in factual legal terms; people in 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 are merely campaigning for democratic choice!
Replying to @NormaCohen3
One more reminder that this is nonsense. It is not merely buying a right to occupy. Ask an expert, not a campaigner for accuracy. Why does it matter? Because nonsense arguments hurt the case for reform. They don’t further it.

A Freeholder’s Fear of Bankruptcy ifamagazine.com/a-freeholder… - what about leaseholders facing the loss of their homes? What about buyers unable to get mortgages? What about people unable to sell? @ALEPofficial - never seen you once give a stuff about leaseholders. @FreeLeasehlders

The fire was a crime committed by politicians and businesses. And it's the innocent victims-leaseholders & volunteer RMC directors, who are paying the price,in the form of #WakingWatchScam,insurance, remediation costs &fire doors, & responsibility for fixing the crimes of others.
Firefighters across the world will be paying close attention to the final Grenfell Inquiry report in September. The fire was a crime committed by politicians and businesses. This must never be allowed to happen again. It is our duty to amplify the community's call for justice.

This is very common. As long as companies can make money from leaseholders by charging us to "fix" fire doors, they will fail every inspection. I've raised this with @H_S_E and @mhclg multiple times, and they've done absolutely NOTHING about this govt sanctioned scam.
So my annual front door inspection (thanks Building Safety Act!) has shown that our front door is defective. This is despite having the front door “fixed” 6 months ago after failing the last inspection. Make. It. Make. Sense.

No one has said we shouldn't pay for service charges. We don't need leasehold for this. Commonhold works in the rest of the world. s3-eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/c…

New towns should never be leasehold or Fleecehold otherwise you will perpetuate the current system which allows investors & managing agents to milk residents dry. Is Sir Micheal Lyons aware of this? Happy to meet to explain. @NLC_2019 @LKPleasehold @EOCS_Official
The post-war New Towns programme was the most ambitious town-building effort ever undertaken in the UK. We begin work today on bringing forward the next generation of new towns. Really pleased Sir Michael Lyons will chair our expert taskforce. gov.uk/government/news/exper…

What BS. As a RTM, I've just organised my freeholder's insurance (Mr Platt's employer Wallace group) and the hard work involves answering a few ready to hand questions. Can't wait to see them go down for this exploitation.
