Current gripe: incompetent shoddy Housing Associations
Please take 35 minutes to watch this speech and share it. There has not been a better one. Utterly compelling, compassionate and brutal. Treasurerβs Lecture β The Rt Hon Sir John Major KG CH β The State Weβre In https://t.co/bFbvdRhWeF via @YouTube
@BBCNews In Germany, the public display, sale, or distribution of Nazi symbols, is illegal and punishable by fines or imprisonment.
He may have bipolar issues, but his team, commercialising this stuff, for sure does not.
Irresponsible and intentional.
Ban him and his company.

-In Germany any public display, sale, or distribution of Nazi symbols is illegal, punishable by fines or imprisonment.
-Never mind HIS mental health: why was this stuff recently commercialised by the team?
Intentional and inexcusable.
Ban him.

@BBCNews
Westminster has a Big Money problem.
@HarryScoffin told Parliament that No 10 and the Treasury have been captured by lobbyists β which is why @UKLabour has broken a manifesto promise to leaseholders, dropping @Law_Commission reforms from the new law.
Watch the MPsβ reaction π
@NHGhousing Enough of those pointless emailed updates sent to Leaseholders, talking about all sorts, carefully avoiding the main unresolved issue, for years:
Correct, transparent, justified service charge accounts.
@NHGhousing Could this Notting Hill Genesis account be any more irrelevant and useless?
Good morning & good evening posts, whilst the Regulator has 2x downgraded you for poor communication, and more?
And LHs are waiting for years of proper CORRECT accounts???
@CommonsHCLG
@FreeLeasehlders Steepest of respect for the utterly professional and knowledgeable way you put all points across.
You should be appointed as a special advisor, rather than just give evidence.
I suspect you have more knowledgeable at your fingertips than many in their files! Thank you!!!
@davidbyers26 Not only huge increases, but with no, or very patchy justification. No reconciled accts, no invoices, empty promises @talktoNHG
Latest satisfaction polls from home owners: 23%!!!
@RSHEngland it can't go on. Needs forensic audit!
@SHAC_Action
Flat-owners are paying larger service charges than ever before to their freeholders and price rises have comfortably outstripped inflation, according to an analysis that campaigners say lends further fuel to accusations of profiteering.

And the said HAs has repeatedly failed to provide correct accounts for years.
And delayed latest service charge accounts twice, with vague promises for March2026.
We pay blindly.
Yet they want to dictate how residents meet?

In Zurich, Switzerland, one in every five citizens live in a housing co-operative, meaning they own the company that owns their home. The result is a different kind of housing market:

@insidehousing If praise is due, let's indeed celebrate.
BUT it needs more info & transparency, given some of the horrendous living conditions in #housing.
Please read the room! #grenfelltower
And add Residents' satisfaction results, as that is THE ONLY measure that counts.
@NLC_2019@CommonsHCLG@naushabah_khan @chriscurtis94 Most of the Housing Associations gjve the same nonsense, meaningless answers, and failing their financial obligations, while treating leaseholders like cashcows.
Only resort: Long FTT, costing us all massively.
We need better options to combat bad work.
@MetroUK Stop this misrepresentation of #sharedownership
The Advertising Standards Authority made a ruling on this topic.
This will soon be akin to misselling PPI.
Stop ruining lives!
