Does that include pressure from freehold lobbyists and the treasury to water down Leasehold reforms? Not much evidence of acting in the best interests of British leaseholders as far as I can see…

Siding with freeholders, property developers, and offshore investment funds? Doesn't feel very working-class solidarity to me.

The Labour Party@UKLabour

This Labour Government is the most working-class government in the history of the UK.

I read the manifesto. I listened to the grand promises, I voted in the GE, I thought @uklabour might actually deliver change in the cladding, safety,housing and leasehold crises. I was wrong. Same old shite, different minister.

I don’t agree with the Greens on a single policy except this one But I care about this one so much that I’ll be tempted to vote for them The fact that Labour hasn’t abolished leasehold is a disgrace

Zack Polanski@ZackPolanski

Sadiq Khan just refused to commit to no more new build leasehold buildings in London. Literally moments after banging on about how bad leasehold is and that it's a feudal system. The Labour hypocrisy knows no ends. What do they stand for other than to protect wealth & power?

Pls ask @michaelgove whether his vision for leasehold abolition as the last parliament wound up is being honoured by the current incumbents of @10DowningStreet & @mhclg? Or is @mtpennycook”s recent positioning another @UKLabour u-turn that will collapse the flat market further?

@mtpennycook Hold on your manifesto said “bring the feudal system of leasehold to an end” you’re saying that didn’t mean abolition but rather some sort of bodge that falls short of ending leasehold Please explain how Scotland have managed to do this @FreeLeasehlders #AbolishLeaseholdNow

What do we want?! “Not outright abolition, an incredibly disruptive, costly, and complex undertaking that would have a detrimental impact on enfranchised and RTM buildings” When do we want it? In 40+ years time! @mtpennycook was the manifesto an ambiguous crock of #&@t then?

I’ve just been blocked by Housing Minister Matthew Pennycook. My crime? Campaigning for fairer housing. Leasehold is a debt trap, destroys lives, and is decimating the flats market. @UKLabour promised to end it. Now they’re stalling... and silencing critics. @FreeLeasehlders

@mtpennycook, Harry was invited to give evidence to the housing select committee because he is in touch with the true, lived scope of leasehold problems. He speaks for thousands of leaseholders. Blocking someone you should be listening to is not a good look.

@KarlTurnerMP Thank you for recognising this. I voted @UKLabour specifically because of manifesto promises to END leasehold, I wasn’t voting for edge tinkering & a weak ground rent fix in 42 yrs time. I’ll have popped my clogs by then! It’s a scam that’s got to end. For goodness sake, be bold

We promised to deal with this in our 2024 manifesto. We must. Never mind this and that. Get on with what we promised. Excuses won’t cut it when we face the country at the next GE.

Free Leaseholders@FreeLeasehlders

Harry’s Tuesday presentation to Parliament has shaken Westminster. WhatsApp groups are still buzzing. The English establishment’s leasehold scam won’t end itself. But with your support, we are forcing its dissolution. Watch the @PoliticsJOE_UK remix vid 👇

@MrCladding @SteveReedMP @mtpennycook @AngelaRayner Quite. It infuriates me that a government’s prime responsibility is the safety and security of its citizens - how that equates with allowing, if not conspiring with landlords to allow people to be treated this way is beyond me. It’s criminal.

Whilst you pontificate, say it’s complicated and invent new slogans for caps; this is the reality .@SteveReedMP .@mtpennycook .@AngelaRayner. Leaseholders scammed every day, cannot escape. Market collapse underway. No one wants to buy leasehold. End it - fully, properly & quickly

@CommonsHCLG @mtpennycook Whilst I welcome a cap will at least stop RPI increases and *may* make lenders less nervous, over the proposed sunset period, I will still pay £10.5k in GR - to protect, in your words ‘niche’ investors! If I ever see peppercorn GR, I will be 95! Frankly, 42yrs is a piss take.
