Blowing the whistle just before they take their corner is nuts even as an Arsenal hater

I have severe concerns about the incoming Coalition in Southwark and whether it will focus on community safety and housing needs. I suspect it’ll McCrash and burn. Time will tell.

[Haydn Osborne-Brookes 💚 @haydnob]

Scared of your seat going Green, Neil?

[🚨The Celebration Police🚨 @PLCPolice]

Arsenal celebrating like they’ve won the league

COYG!!!

Most rightwing YIMBYism is just free market fundamentalism repackaged for young graduates struggling with the cost of housing. They are trying to divide us up through resentment rather than uniting us to argue for very obvious social democratic policies that make housing better

[Reginald Popoola 🍉 @ReginaldPopoola]

This.

Many of these new builds in Southwark have often been purchased off plan by wealthy overseas investors.

The regeneration of Canada Water and surrounding Elephant and Castle are excellent examples of the fantasy of this chain theory.

[Reginald Popoola 🍉 @ReginaldPopoola]

@SimonHuntCityAM The price of these proposed homes are unaffordable to most residents in the borough.

In addition, with uncapped service charge, the leasehold market has flattened.

We need more truly affordable homes, not merely homes that will be brought by wealthy overseas investors

[Reginald Popoola 🍉 @ReginaldPopoola]

The developer led model has failed to deliver the social housing we need in Southwark, which has contributed to 23,000 households on our waiting list.

Only a direct delivery model, led by councils and funded by Government, can deliver on building the homes that we need

[Reginald Popoola 🍉 @ReginaldPopoola]

@SteveMacey1985 The mantra of trickle down homes has been talked to death for a generation.

The developer led model has led to larger waiting lists and 1 million homes across the UK who already have planning permission but choose to land banking rather than build.

People over profit, Steve

It's a fantastic day for residents in Peckham!

The Planning Inspector has ruled against Berkley Homes a tiny amount of affordable homes as possible in the heart of Peckham.

Building affordable homes, not luxury flats, is the only way we can tackle the housing crisis.

[Reginald Popoola 🍉 @ReginaldPopoola]

@maxshillam With leaseholds being exposed as unviable with uncapped service charge, sales of them in London are at an all-time low.

The market demands more affordable homes, not luxury flats with uncapped service charges.

@Southwark_News @SouthwarkLabour Thank you,

It's Popoola though!

When you see the relentless attacks from other parties on the Greens across the media remember this:

They hate our plan to end Rip Off Britain.

They don't want a wealth tax.

They don't want public ownership & lower bills.

They're trying everything in their power to stop us.

[Zoe Gardner @ZoeJardiniere]

Leaseholds are a straight-up scam

Rent is through the roof

We are due to sell off 8x as much of our social housing stock as we build this year

The housing crisis is a political choice to keep the rich getting richer

[Action on Empty Homes @emptyhomes @emptyhomes]

Not only does corporate student accom enrich developers and push up high land prices every 2.5 units is counted in planning terms as a 'home' - so when councils, mayors etc tell you how many 'homes' are built check the student accom numbers @MayorofLondon @trustforlondon
