No. This is sickening. Leaseholders have gone bankrupt due to building safety costs, with no reprieve. But Angela Rayner is poised to throw a lifeline to Jeff Fairburn - infamous for his Ā£75m pay packet - to delay Avant's Ā£107m cladding bill. Shocking. thetimes.com/business-money…

His Ā£75m bonus from Persimmon wasn’t enough. Now he’s running a house building company that’s up to its nuts in cladding remediation costs, and has its hand out to the government. Shrewd man is our Jeff. He knows free money when he sees it. - The post highlights Jeff

Lawfare? Is that your answer? They already can. But if you'd been listening, you'd know that the vast majority of leaseholders don't have the resources, patience and energy to fight errant freeholders and managing agents in a system that favours the wealthiest & most influential.

Mike Bird Flats are the drag. John Burn-Murdoch spotted this earlier than most. ā€œLondon house prices have climbed by 17 per cent since 2017, but flat prices in the capital are down 1 per cent over the same period.ā€ How England’s flats turned into second-class housing on.ft.com/3ISYhMf

James Morgan Leasehold flats will be a huge drag on house price growth in the capital. People understandably are shunning them like the plague. It’s not good financial sense to hand your chequebook over to an unaccountable, often unsackable landlord or management company, which is leasehold.

Glenn Seaton Although I wasn't my usual eloquent self in this instance, I stand by my position that we need better MPs. Mr Al-Hassan was regurgitating the party line to inject it into the public consciousness instead of doing the work he's paid to - fix the problems.

šŸ„€ LABOUR LETS BIG MONEY LAWFARE TRUMP DEMOCRACY šŸ„€ When did power go from the people to unelected elites? On ending leasehold, a The Labour Party manifesto pledge, this government is making excuses and letting rich vested interests set the agenda through lawfare.

🚨 SUCKING UP TO VESTED INTERESTS 🚨 The Labour Party promised to END leasehold. That’s what the people voted for and expect. But, strangely, this government is dancing to the tune of Big Freeholders and hand-wringing lawyers. Meanwhile, leaseholders keep being looted.

1) Take what you will from this video, I’m not quite as critical as this, but you can’t deny the promise of 100 days is gone and the fact I’m struggling as a grass roots Labour member to be involved in this issue within the party, something isn’t adding up.

2) Changing the law so I got RTM has been a definite positive, but I will not be free until I sell my flat, which is not possible. My life is on hold, my future is uncertain, do I really have to wait an entire parliament to move on with my life? My crime: buying a flat

In the ā€˜80s, the Duke of Westminster sued the Thatcher government to block her push for a property-owning democracy. Decades later, the Starmer govt seems unfazed as his heir and other rentiers weaponise judicial review to derail leasehold reform. A new Free Leaseholders film šŸ‘‡

Does voting matter? The Labour Party was elected to end leasehold for good. With Labour’s 2nd biggest majority in 125 years, Starmer’s government should fight - yet they’re letting the freeholder lobby and hostile lawyers set the agenda, ignoring voters and hiding behind the courts.

Is this government for the people? Or the idle, offshore rich? On ending leasehold, it is breathtaking that Keir Starmer and Angela Rayner are acting as if their government doesn’t have an awesome parliamentary majority – the second biggest in The Labour Party’s 125-year history.

Nicola Hawkins Exactly. With RTM you own nothing more than you did pre-RTM. The freeholder still owns the land and everything on it. RTM is like a prison managed by prisoners. It might feel ā€˜better’ but it’s still a prison, you’re still in jail and there’s more freedom. But is it freedom or

Our new film is causing a stir. A deep dive into the feudal class system behind leasehold and how little has been done to end it. The Duke of Westminster moment is chilling: ā€œWe’re above Parliament. What we do is right and moral … because I say it is.ā€ šŸŽ„ WATCH NOW šŸ‘‡
