Arrogant and offensive. Can you imagine having to work with these truth twisters?
In opposition, @mtpennycook pushed for rates that made enfranchisement “as cheap as possible for leaseholders”.
Now in power, in the small print of a consultation, he says prescribed rates won’t be used to reduce leaseholders’ premiums.
This stinks. And @thetimes knows it.

When senior Bloomberg writers like @John_Stepek feel they must caveat that government figures may not be reliable, it lends credibility to the feeling many of us have:
That the true unemployment picture is far, far worse at street level than the national figures suggest.
I don't recognise today's figures as having any basis in reality.
And I don't trust this government's reporting of the figures any more than the last one.

You are getting the message out @HarryScoffin @FreeLeasehlders. It is clear this sham consultation (that is deliberately constructed to deter participation by ordinary leaseholders) will allow @mtpennycook to appease the freehold cartel. Where is @AngelaRayner? AWOL.
Leaseholders are experiencing suicidal ideation and selling their cars to meet their freeholders’ extortion demands.
Yet a Labour government has ruled out using Tory rate-setting powers to make it cheaper for the exploited to buy out their exploiters.
Me in @thetimes tonight 👇

Behind the rates consultation are real people.
LHs under enormous financial pressure from costs we never agreed to & cannot control. The deferment & capitalisation rates decide how big that bill is. The gov says it doesn’t want to use their power to lower it. Why? @HarryScoffin

@HarryScoffin is right. Labour promised to “finally bring the feudal leasehold system to an end.” Instead, we get a consultation that leans towards rates set in a 2007 court case, won by the freeholder lobby.
The consultation closes this Wednesday. Tell them what we want. 9%.

Renting is now cheaper for many First Time Buyers, and that's before maintenance costs are factored in.

WIPE the smirk off this man’s face.
Stop Matthew Pennycook and the Labour government’s total capitulation to the property mafia.

Leaseholders, hurry!
They’re rushing to enslave us.
Even though @andyburnham promised “the days of you being squeezed for every penny are coming to an end”.

This won't help shared owners.
How many have already lost their "affordable" homes because they could no longer afford the rent, mortgage and service charges, and couldn't sell?
How many more will be homeless by the end of this Parliament?

I've just completed this vital consultation, arguing for cheap enfranchisement via high deferment & capitalization rates. Sadly, the questions' technocratic design does suggest bad faith: they don't want to hear from ordinary LHers. Spoil their day. Do it. It's our last chance.

We need to talk about Matthew Pennycook 👇
.@mtpennycook is delivering the very policy he argued against in opposition.
And he’s supposed to represent Labour, the party of working people!
