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%.
While we’re all distracted by TikTok videos, the government is busy stuffing ground rent grifters’ mouths with gold at leaseholders’ expense. Taking back control for the people, just not the little people!

We are losing our jobs and homes, and the best Labour can do is ‘parking should be straightforward’.
Parking should be straightforward, not another everyday hassle. Today we’re putting the brakes on rip-off parking charges - meaning drivers get a fairer deal, protections from being unfairly charged, and confidence that private parking providers are held to a higher standard. It's yet another step forward in this government’s plan to take the stress out of everyday life and ease the pressure on people's pockets.

I’m sure this has nothing to do with recent and upcoming Labour budgets.

I’m not sure this is factually correct given there have been redundancies in both the private and public sector - and we aren’t talking small numbers.

WIPE the smirk off this man’s face. Stop Matthew Pennycook and the Labour government’s total capitulation to the property mafia. Respond to the government’s invisible consultation on lease extension and freehold buy-out rates. Use our briefing to help you: freeleaseholders.org.uk/our-…

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”. Consultation on lease extension and freehold buy-out rates closes Weds. Use our briefing: freeleaseholders.org.uk/our-…
Who knew a Flake 99 could become a political thriller?

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?

Anyone?
Any of my leasehold/cladding followers know anyone who’s sold flat at a loss recently who’d be willing to talk - for today’s BBC News coverage of falling house prices - we want to illustrate that that’s mainly due to plummeting flat prices caused by leasehold/building safety.

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.

LEASEHOLD IS SLAVERY ABOLISH ABOLISH ABOLISH
Screwed by marriage value? Facing rip-off lease extension costs? Or just want to buy your freehold at a fair price? LAST WEEKEND to push back against the government and leasehold mafia from setting the rates in a 2024 law to keep these fees the same or make them even higher.
