@lb_southwark Your council isn't able to look after it's street care, I don't see any posts about that.

@CallumLyon Why don't you install one?

[Assi @grbnsk]

@tomhfh Abolish leaseholds

@BenGoldsmith More open air swimming pools like in Europe.

Also would be great if you can set the temperature lower, it's still hot onboard.

@TfL it's great that the newest generation of busses have some (weak) AC fitted, but please play a recorded announcement to remind passengers to close the windows to make it more effective.

@Mr_NickClarke Why is 1% SC unreasonable? Whatever % SC, distorted leasehold incentives make it worse.

[Assi @grbnsk]

@Mr_NickClarke If they want to. High rises will almost always employ a contracted management company, but at least the flat owners will collectively control the contracting and oversight.

[Assi @grbnsk]

@Mr_NickClarke When the ones paying the costs are the one deciding on what to spend on, issue vendor tenders, and cut unnecessary overhead, the overhead will be reduced and more competition between vendors and contractors.

[Free Leaseholders @FreeLeasehlders]

“This is the last gasps of a failing Prime Minister.”

We speak to Ian Collins about Starmer and his aides cooking up a sham concession to leaseholders.

Labour promised to END leasehold, not keep the racket going until 2068.

The current Bill is unsafe and must be overhauled.

@TLRailUK your 'report a fault' web form has been broken for at least a month. New cases must be showing with a 0 number on your system, in case someone was wondering why.

@rorysutherland The productivity loss is insane. As if it isn't enough that even in central London (standing in place) you have no coverage or very slow connection, train time adds more lost billions in gdp.

@TomTugendhat Is your point that UK hasn't developed frontier models because of energy costs? There is 0 evidence of that. Has Germany developed any? France?

@nicolelampert Opium for the brainwashed base. Much easier than hard work to get things done for London.

Feudal-based Long Leasehold housing is outdated, inefficient, expensive and unjust.

Leasehold housing must be phased out a lot quicker than the Government has proposed because we need more control over our own homes.

It just needs a phasing out period nearer to 5-7 Years rather than the 40 Years currently proposed.

"In the long run we are all dead" said the Liberal Economist J.M. Keynes!

@ChrisGiles_ @SlideCapital Ft pricing is prohibitive (as is its political agenda)

[Assi @grbnsk]

@mk270 @HarryScoffin agree to the selling of the freehold to the ultimate leaseholder. How would that happen in practice if the law doesn't require the freeholder to give such right of enfranchisement?

[Assi @grbnsk]

@mk270 @HarryScoffin Interesting. In practice does this mean that when the right of enfranchisement is exercised, it is the responsibility of the seller (who is also a leaseholder) to ensure the superior freeholder is beholden to the enfranchisement? This means 2 separate superior layers need to

[Assi @grbnsk]

@Mr_NickClarke I'd argue the leasehold debate is about much more than fairness: it's about unlocking the redevelopment potential of large parts of London to support densification, a new and more diversified group of property developers, economic growth via getting fixed capital to work freely.
