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.

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!

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!

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.
Shared ownership changes will have ‘major impact’ for landlords, lawyers say dlvr.it/TF49K1 #ukhousing

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
Replying to @UKLabour @Keir_Starmer
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

The same names keep cropping up over and over again.
@TaylorWimpeyplc
Firstport, E&M all of them have played huge parts in the Building Safety Scandal AND the Leasehold Scandal !!
@mtpennycook @mhclg @AngelaRayner @LKPleasehold
Flat owner says lives are at risk after London fire.
“Taylor Wimpey, along with the managing agents FirstPort, and the freeholder E&M, have pontificated for far too long over the work required at VW."

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
Steven Mills retweeted
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.
Steven Mills retweeted
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.

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.

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.
