@andyburnham is doing an AMA on @Reddit later today. @FreeLeasehlders can you encourage your followers to go an upvote the Qs to him on leasehold?!

@AvantiWestCoast Is the 12.48 from HHD>EUS on time? My dad is at the platform but all very quiet and no train there despite the journey starting from there?!
@mtpennycook The (long, expensive, uncertain) bit between the beginning and the end is what worries leaseholders though...we don't have years never mind 40 years. Nor do the currently proposed reforms actually in any way END *existing* leasehold.
@jcreedy@mtpennycook Can you filter comments by key words on X like on Insta? Because I am starting to think Matthew isn't reading anything about leasehold at all. Political fingers-in-ears.
@mtpennycook Just look at the Olympic Park ward where there are lots of leaseholders. Newham was once a labour stronghold; not any more in this ward nor neighbouring Waltham Forest. You were warned.
@OlympicHomes_AG@FreeLeasehlders
@mtpennycook@instituteforgov and the idea that you can't meddle in contracts is wild. Thousands of landlords (some unwitting, accidental landlords as trapped leaseholders!) will have the terms of their tenancy agreements changed tomorrow regardless of what any prior piece of paper said for the greater good.
@mtpennycook@instituteforgov It is too little, too slow. Even if full abolition cannot be achieved immediately, there are so many things that you could (and should) have implemented by now that would both alleviate leaseholder suffering AND help the wider housing market. Utterly disappointing.
@Uma_Kumaran is it appropriate that your colleague @mtpennycook or his team are blocking leasehold campaigners who are a valued voice for all of us at @OlympicHomes_AG and beyond?
Iโve just been blocked by Housing Minister Matthew Pennycook.
My crime? Campaigning for fairer housing.
Leasehold is a debt trap, destroys lives, and is decimating the flats market.
@UKLabour promised to end it.
Now theyโre stalling... and silencing critics.
@FreeLeasehlders
It's great that you have liked this tweet @Uma_Kumaran but the resident also hasn't heard further from your team for two weeks and matters do not appear to have improved...
@ZackPolanski Perhaps our local Green councillors could respond to my neighbour who reached out to them almost two weeks ago after being treated terribly by our managing agent/freeholder and with serious safety concerns about his flat @natehiggins@Dannny_K@OlympicHomes_AG

Internal remediation works - fire door removal and reinstatement. Lost for words as to how you would describe these worksโฆ
Works to make our homes safer apparently?
We need urgent government intervention @EastVillageLDN@Uma_Kumaran@mtpennycook@getliving
@AreeqChowdhury Existing Green councillors in Newham need to step up first; sentiment is not favourable amongst leaseholders at East Village right now https://t.co/fk3ykqAshv
