Barry is spot on again. Gove promised the world and delivered nothing.

Nothing short of gaslighting by Gove.

Do better.

Looking forward to attending “Homes For London” this evening.

I hope to be able to discuss what the people of Barking and Dagenham want from new homes in the borough, as well as make the case for the move away from the toxic leasehold tenure.

If you see me there, please stop…

Attached is a picture of a sign that Bouygues UK have placed on site at the Gascoigne while they complete remedial works.

Do they only hire men? Sign seems to imply that, are they sexist as well as incompetent?

🚨Bullying & Intimidation at LBBD 🚨

More than half a dozen former Barking and Dagenham Council employees have now spoken to me anonymously of their experiences of bullying and intimidation when raising concerns around:

- Building safety
- Housing repairs
- Temporary accommodation provision…

Still looking to find out who published Dagenham Speaks.

Real news.

🚨 LBBD Building Safety Issues 🚨

It has been brought to my attention that a news story will break this week revealing another Be First & Barking and Dagenham Council social housing project has major building defects that the council ignored when they were highlighted by residents…

I've said it before and I'll say it again, Britain's network of offshore tax havens must open public registers of beneficial ownership.

It's high time that we follow the dirty money flowing into these havens. Sunlight is the best disinfectant.

Four priorities for housebuilding.

✅ Build safe
✅ Build at scale
✅ Ban leasehold
✅ Build beautiful

Do this for 15 years ☝️ and the country will in a much better place.

It is the abuse of those service charges by a variety of actors that we seek to end. Do you though Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities? Free Leaseholders NLC - LEASEHOLD CAMPAIGNER - #reLEASE us bbc.com/news/uk-englan…

In case we missed it?

I think you’ll find the bill missed all of it Michael Gove.

A defect known about since 2021, ignored by the negligent freeholder Barking and Dagenham Council and managing agent L&Q

They’ll call it a tragedy when someone is killed.

Not worth scaffolding these defective balconies then.

Barking and Dagenham Council Barking & Dagenham MPS ‘Keep your home safe and sound’ you say. Meanwhile ⬇️‼️⬇️ What a state of affairs. Shameless. Truly. x.com/mattlismore/st…

In line with Free Leaseholders FOI requests - I have submitted several more myself to the abusive freeholder that is my local authority Barking and Dagenham Council

*Also a reminder that through FOI we found out that LBBD charges leaseholders without ESW1 certificates the same annual insurance…

I do enjoy an FOI!

Let’s see what the truth is - 20 days and counting.

💣FOI WARS💣

The fight goes on for the peppercorn ground rents they promised us.

Still no evidence for the “ruined pensions” line.

So, why have HM Treasury reportedly caved and forced Michael Gove to drop the policy?

Leaseholders have a right to know. (1/4)

I’m still waiting for you to meet with me about my social housing provider Barking and Dagenham Council

They risked our lives for years by ignoring a category 1 hazard.

This is moving way too slowly. These residents need resolutions and justice now!

Last December, Mike Amesbury MP wrote to Lee Rowley requesting action be taken regarding 53 Agar Grove.

Mr Rowley hasn't responded yet, and Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities certainly hasn't progressed our case.

We've included it as part of a wider request for information to Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities and Michael Gove.
