One of the biggest scams perpetrated by @mhclg & @BSR_buildsafe.
Every door inspection costs eye-watering amounts with commissions to agents.
Every inspection fails & the cost to adjust a hinge: £300.
Repeat every 3 months.
Destroy leaseholders.
All these officials deserve jail.

[Norma Cohen @NormaCohen3]

What a surprise!! The nation’s wealthiest landowners pressed this government to NOT CAP THEIR GROUND RENTS.

Duke of Westminster privately lobbied Reeves not to cap ground rent

[Harry Scoffin @HarryScoffin]

Leaseholders are being looted.

One London development generated a secret £1.6 million insurance commission for a freeholder’s related company.

Yet Starmer drops the promised @Law_Commission reforms that would stop this endemic grifting and orders another performative review.

In any other European city, Soho would have been pedestrianised long ago. However, due to a lack of vision from @CityWestminster & the world's worst NIMBYs @sohosocietyw1 people are forced to mix with cars. All parking should be removed, timed deliveries,+ no private car access

[Carole Cadwalladr @carolecadwalla]

1) It’s *literally* your job to regulate this platform.

2) If you can’t, what does that mean? Tell us.

3) The Dept of Culture is not ‘your’ department, it’s ours. You’re its temporary custodian

5) But Facebook is ok? Really?

@Geoff___Smith @DrMarianaClaire A bit slower on a bike these days. Congestion. 20 years ago I used to quite enjoy Hackney to the West End, very few bikes on the roads, about 20 mins. Now it’s more of a pootle.

[Richard Murphy @RichardJMurphy]

The £17 billion of tax HMRC is choosing not to collect https://t.co/tdiiJzx41r That's enough to pay for 50,000 council houses a year, and HMRC don't seem to care that it's being lost.

[Cycleway, my arse! @issaddlethereis.bsky.social @IsSaddleThereIs]

Another selfish driver parking on the mandatory cycle lane on West Bank. One of very few half decent bits of Cycleway 1 and drivers still find a way to make it more dangerous. @hackneycouncil @MPSHackney are you even taking notice of driver behaviour like this anymore?

[Leasehold Knowledge @LKPleasehold]

Dead right from @LiamSpender that out of control service charges are more of an issue for more leaseholders than ground rents. Time for govt to tell developers RMCs or share of freehold is expected in new schemes right now. @mtpennycook @justinmadders @NLC_2019

[Leasehold Knowledge @LKPleasehold]

Mark McLaren, former legal affairs at Which? and regular at our leasehold APPGs, leads £4.5bn class action on housebuilders' price fixing. Same publicly subsidised cartel that brought us rip-off ground rents, building safety defects and fleecehold. Do we have the worst housebuilders in the world? @HomeBuildersFed @mtpennycook @justinmadders

To everyone who's upset that trump's name was removed from the Kennedy center i would like to point out that you can find his name mentioned more than 30 thousand times in the epstein files 👍

[Anne Lindsay @AnneLindsay7]

Please shut up about VAT on private school fees. The VAT on £10,000 is £2,000, on £20,000 it is £4,000. You all spend more than that on a holiday. And please no "I lived in a cardboard box to pay school fees", you all sound pathetic. Pay up and shut up.

[Neil Stone @DrNeilStone]

This is a study from Scotland

2.3% of babies born to COVID-vaccinated mothers had birth defects!

Guess what the rate in UNvaccinated mothers was?

Wait for it....wait for it....wait for it........

2.3%!!

[Feargal Sharkey @Feargal_Sharkey]

Neoliberalism, trickle down economics, the Chicago school of economics call it what you will, it is no longer the high alter of intellectual thinking, it has been exposed as a fraud, possibly the greatest fraud ever perpetrated on the British people.

As my friend Stewart rather brilliantly explains. 👇👇👇Those about to rewrite monetary policy in this country would serve themselves well to study it carefully.

[BladeoftheSun @BladeoftheS]

If you are worried about

Benefit Fraud £0.5bn but not Government Corruption £219bn.

Immigration £2bn but not Tax Havens £150bn.

Junior Doctors pay rises £1.3bn but not Bankers tax cuts £7.3bn.

You‘re buying their lies.

5 years for £400,000

£1,000,000,000 was stolen by just 25 companies using the VIP PPE Lane.

That should be 500 years for each of the 25.

But of course we don't prosecute the big thieves.

Our letter to @Keir_Starmer. We need someone to get a grip on the Building Safety Crisis urgently. Residents continue to suffer and there's no end in sight. #endourcladdingscandal
