@TheGreenParty You need to leave basic needs out of taxation. Don't tax food, water, one home, one car, education, etc, anything else that sits idle for a year and should instead circulate in the economy can be taxed. Idle eccumulation is a wasted resource.
We kept warning this government.
Prioritise your manifesto commitment to END leasehold.
Or let the market continue to collapse and make you look incompetent or in league with Big Freehold.
Starmer’s Commonhold and Leasehold Reform Bill is unsafe and must be overhauled.
No one is saying remove service charges, but cutting out freeholder and managing agent grift by putting fees under homeowner control is vital to resolving crisis of flats market. Houses are doing well because people have control over maintenance and not living under freeholders.
@HarryScoffin It is so simple but they pretend to be thick because they benefit from the corruption. UK economy and efficiency keeps going down because parasites and leeches get away with murder and nothing is done to stop people who make it their job to be paid for doing nothing.
Labour promised to END leasehold.
Now they are just tinkering with the scam and expect us to be happy?
Starmer is protecting the service charge grift.
Key Law Commission recommendations on enfranchisement and RTM have been omitted from the Commonhold and Leasehold Reform Bill.
Even Zoopla now concedes leasehold flats in England and Wales are liabilities and massively underperform houses.
We have a crisis, yet government is asleep.
BIG MISTAKE dropping Law Commission enfranchisement and RTM reforms that would slash service charges and heal market.

THIS from @paullewismoney
For nearly 10 years we have been educating anyone who will listen that leaseholders do not own a brick!
That is the crux of the whole rotten system.
Ownership =Power
And it's the freeholders who own the lot but fleece "tenants" as stated in leases for every penny they can.
WHERE ARE THE LAFRA VALUATIONS @mtpennycook?!!
@NLC_2019
“Take Back Control”?
Parliament was meant to become sovereign again.
Instead, we have a government that hides behind judicial review, letting rich lobbyists take control of our parliamentary democracy and trample on a manifesto promise.
Starmer’s Labour: corporate ghouls.
@ChiefRocka10 The NLC don’t come from leasehold flats and are now sucking oxygen out of the debate. They seem more interested in glory-hunting and insider games than speaking truth to power and ratcheting up pressure for delivery. The optics are poor given Katie is a serving Labour politician.
This tweet should result in the end of Tapp's career. No politician with a shred of decency or integrity asks a question that his own government has made it illegal to answer.
SICK of the Starmer drama.
Labour came to power promising to end leasehold.
Now they want us to be grateful for a bit of tinkering!
The Commonhold and Leasehold Reform Bill is a travesty. The promised Law Commission recommendations have been purged.
Me on Ian Collins 👇
A bit poetic that Keir is scrambling for legacy policies and ends up on our turf.
If only he’d prioritised ending leasehold, a key manifesto promise.
Instead, we get weak, lobbyist-friendly legislation that won’t energise voters or save the flats market.
Talk big, act small.
@malonebarry@UKLabour has the biggest majority in history and what are they doing with it?
❌ Nothing useful for the country
❌ Letting serious crime slide
✅ Putting grannies in prison
Absolute joke.
What are you doing about Privately managed estates? We received an email today about a disabled man being harassed because of service charges. We are waiting for over 2 years now for some policies that will help us @mtpennycook
Türkiye'de de millet vekillerimiz ikinci el giyinip çok güzel de yakıştırınca Peygamberimize ve sahabelere yakışır bir ümmet olacağız. Meclisimiz itibardan taviz vermeyen markalara esir zayıf karaklerlerle dolu. @RTErdogan
Don't believe everything you read on right-wing medias, in papers and more. The shirt Hannah Spencer wore at PMQ's is a 15 year old charity shop find, not a £2,000 Gucci purchase like many would want you to believe! 🤥
Why would people spread misinformation about Hannah? Hmm?
When people are desperate, they get angry.
They want politics upended.
That’s what is happening with leaseholders.
The next PM will inherit a popular agenda to cut bills and unleash growth.
But ONLY if they overhaul Starmer’s dud of a Commonhold and Leasehold Reform Bill.
