@cattwil@SteveReedMP Wow. If @UKLabour protect offshore millionaires over leaseholders (working people), despite their manifesto pledge to abolish leasehold, their parliamentary majority, cross-party support AND High Court backing, that would be a masterclass in self sabotage.
@HarryScoffin@UKLabour@RachelReevesMP surely shadow Treasury helped draft and cost manifesto pledge to abolish leasehold and cap ground rents? Voters backed your promises in good faith. @UKLabour won. Any retreat raises questions about competence, credibility, integrity. Working people deserve better
@MattLismore@Keir_Starmer@SteveReedMP@mtpennycook@RachelReevesMP can you mot see that passing laws that weren’t in your manifesto and abandoning the ones that were is a breach of trust? This goes to the heart of integrity in politics and the credibility of your party’s future.
@SteveReedMP https://t.co/87Qw2K0Tni - Starmer’s lack of vision for implementing his manifesto promises has stalled reform. Housing is stuck in that space. If ministers can’t strategise, let me help: abolish leasehold. The High Court has opened the door. Walk through. Free trapped homeowners
@mtpennycook O2 hikes prices mid-contract (Ofcom). Trains get dearer (ORR). Water spews sewage (Ofwat). Bills soar (Ofgem). FCA, SRA, CQC - scandals. Give me a regulator and I'll show you failure. Leaseholders don't need more regulation. We need ownership.
@FreeLeasehlders@hmtreasury FT: ‘Plan to cap ground rents causes concern among UK landlords.’ Duh! Their exploitative money-for-nothing gravy train is running out of steam. @Keir_Starmer time to make good on your manifesto. Push this through. Don’t be afraid, freeholders’ misinformation can’t hurt you.
@freeofhold@FreeLeasehlders With the High Court confirming leaseholders’ rights to fairer valuations, if government delays and leaseholders keep overpaying because those rights can’t be exercised, does that amount to unjustified interference with our possessions under Article 1 Protocol 1?
@FreeLeasehlders@HarryScoffin@BarryGardiner “Build, baby, build” is a grotesque slogan when leaseholders are STUCK BABY STUCK in flats they don’t own, and others are trapped in tinderbox towers coated in cladding. @SteveReedMP why are we still waiting for you to commit to abolishing leasehold for all?
@Councillorsuzie If, according to @MayorofLondon , Oxford Street is of such national importance that it justified a nationwide consultation on pedestrianisation, should the London Mayor role be nationally elected?
@MattLismore@SteveReedMP@AngelaRayner As a backbencher and owner of a leasehold property, perhaps you’ll have something to say about government chasing new votes (“build, baby, build”) instead of supporting existing voters trapped in a toxic system presided over by millionaire feudal lords?
@SteveReedMP@Keir_Starmer And…. “access to homes that people actually own, free from the tyranny of leasehold and feudal lords. Shame on you Cadogan, Grosvenor and John Lyon’s Charity.
