Serious Question: Why are leaseholders being asked to underwrite the cost of structural repairs to ANY building when they do not own a single brick in it? https://t.co/Xa0mTqtSZ2

[End Our Cladding Scandal @EOCS_Official]

Yes, the awful impact of the building safety crisis on the lives of ordinary people cannot be underestimated.

But let’s be clear: the blame also lies with successive governments - first for helping cause this crisis, then for failing to deliver a fair, comprehensive solution.

[UK Cladding Action Group @ukcag]

Wrong of @Uma_Kumaran to spread this misinformation & prevent replies.
The Labour govt has done nothing to protect innocent leaseholders trapped for 9 yrs in the #BuildingSafetyCrisis. Instead their policies have protected developers & freeholders while harming their victims.

[Sophie @SophieLB1]

The anniversary of the Grenfell tragedy is coming up. So many people I speak to don't realise there are still SO MANY unsafe buildings. It is beyond belief that successive governments have failed to get a grip on a national scandal #endourcladdingscandal

Reasonable? The “one thing” for too many leaseholders (England&Wales) is financial insolvency/homelessness because freeholders can impose uncapped costs their solicitors advise they MUST pay BEFORE they can challenge what’s ‘reasonable’

@KirstieMAllsopp I can tell you don’t live in a leasehold

For some of us it’s financially ruinous

[Harry Scoffin @HarryScoffin]

For love nor money, developers cannot flog leasehold flats. Genie out of the bottle. Taylor Wimpey is pulling back from building more apartments in London because of weak demand. Yet Labour has kicked its ban on new leaseholds into the 2030s. Insane. https://t.co/dlpRkSKBYS

[Rituparna @ritustweets]

Explain to me like I'm 5 why I have to pay a random company £250 a year for a flat I pay a mortgage on, where I pay for the upkeep of the building, the insurance & everything else, when said random company pays for NOTHING. Can @FloEshalomi explain?

[MrCladding @MrCladding]

I’d like to pose the same question to @deirdrecostigan @mtpennycook and @TanDhesi

Happy for ANY three of you to respond.

@E20AP @ritustweets @UKLabour @Keir_Starmer @HoCcommitteesUK @SteveReedMP @PrivateEyeNews We may have had a fighting chance if the Bill's (obvious) measures were in the BSA 4+ years ago.

Sadly, @mhclg culture remains focused on changing behaviours over time rather than acting with any urgency to get a grip of this mess and actually protect leaseholders.

[Dan Bruce @dannybster]

Consequence of @Keir_Starmer and @mtpennycook preferring platitudes over progress.

What a waste of a majority.

[Sophie @SophieLB1]

Do you think I WANT to tweet about cladding all day long? ☠️

[rj @richard_jm]

Leaseholders will end up paying for:

- new compliance officers hired by MAs

-New regulatory body funded “by industry” I.e. code for LHs via SC

- justify its existence inventing new compliance requirements

- resulting in RTM & commonhold being made MORE difficult & expensive

[Rituparna @ritustweets]

Multi miĺlion pound rogue developers built 100s of 1000s of flats with NO fire breaks& flammable #cladding,&sold them to innocent people for huge profit, ruining our lives.
@mhclg protected the companies& themselves
The only way to hit them where it hurts,STOP buying their crap!

[Harry Scoffin @HarryScoffin]

@KirstieMAllsopp Having nuance can be a sign someone is unaffected by an issue or privileged enough to avoid taking a side. Leasehold turns homeowners into financial captives of freeholders and managing agents. It’s ruining lives. Saying there’s “pros and cons” to leasehold is part of the issue.

[Harry Scoffin @HarryScoffin]

Starmer’s handling of ending leasehold, a key manifesto promise, was the canary in the coal mine for this govt.

The Commons Housing Select Committee agrees: Starmer must stop the painful incrementalism and overhaul the Commonhold and Leasehold Reform Bill to free leaseholders.

[Sophie @SophieLB1]

9 years ago I put my trust in the housing market. I piled my life savings into a home. 1 month after completion Grenfell happened. 3 years later I would be sent a bill for £208k to fix historic fire safety defects and 6 years after that I am still unable to sell or move on.

[LDNRN @RickyPNicky]

@EOCS_Official @LostInSW19 @CommonsHCLG @HoCcommitteesUK discussing this with someone recently, and their view was we shouldn’t grumble about it because we knew ‘what we’d signed up for’. The level of misunderstanding is off the scale. Trapped in an illegally constructed building, huge hikes in service charge. We really didn’t know!!!

[BBC London @BBCLondonNews]

Speed up £250 cap on leasehold ground rent, MPs urge ➡️ https://t.co/7Qt8ORVdbQ

[UK Cladding Action Group @ukcag]

It's this attitude from @tomcopley & @MayorofLondon that has led to 1000s of innocent #Londoners trapped in dangerous flats for 9 yrs. While the Mayor supports & further grows the enormous profits of the rogue developers that built these unsellable, unmortgageable death traps.
