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-moneyā¦


This morning, I wrote to the Prime Minister (and my MP) Keir Starmer regarding Angela Rayner's bailout of Avant Homes. Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Gov is clear that "backing the builders" will be done at the expense of the victims.

Salvage credibility: revise your target. Stop knowingly lying to the electorate. Get off the āparty lineā and speak to us as people, be truthful. People need transparency from government. Angela Rayner Matthew Pennycook MP


Mike Bird Flats are the drag. John Burn-Murdoch spotted this earlier than most. āLondon 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 Englandās 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. Itās 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.

š„ LABOUR LETS BIG MONEY LAWFARE TRUMP DEMOCRACY š„ 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.

šØ SUCKING UP TO VESTED INTERESTS šØ The Labour Party promised to END leasehold. Thatās 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.



In the ā80s, 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 š

Does voting matter? The Labour Party was elected to end leasehold for good. With Labourās 2nd biggest majority in 125 years, Starmerās government should fight - yet theyāre 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 doesnāt have an awesome parliamentary majority ā the second biggest in The Labour Partyās 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 ābetterā but itās still a prison, youāre still in jail and thereās more freedom. But is it freedom or
