Ground rents provide no service to leaseholders, found the CMA. If you’re paying for nothing, you should be paying nothing. Yet a @UKLabour government props up the ground rent racket for 42 years. Protecting exploiters over the exploited in a cost of living emergency. Obscene.
Free Leaseholders@FreeLeasehlders

Ground rent = money for nothing. Second-biggest parliamentary majority in 126 years. And yet @UKLabour are protecting the grift until 2068. So much for ending leasehold.

It is happening, folks. Labour are scamming leaseholders with the draft Commonhold and Leasehold Reform Bill, protecting Big Freehold until 2068. And only one party is making leasehold abolition central to their pitch at the local elections. We did warn the government...
The Green Party@TheGreenParty

Today we launch our campaign for the May elections. Locally and nationally, Labour is cosying up to developers and failing to provide the secure, affordable homes we need. We deserve better. On 7th May vote for council homes, rent controls and an end to leaseholds. Vote Green.

@SeemaMalhotra1 You’ve not saved anyone a bloody penny! Even if you pass the new law before next election, most of us will have gone bankrupt from service charge extortion before the 40 year sunset on £250 ground rent takes effect. As a first time @UKLabour voter, never again! @AngelaRayner

@EmmaLewell 40 years is no help to anyone living, - ground rent should be abolished given the additional charges everyone faces since the building safety scandal. Not a scrap of work has been done to remediate my building yet so this sort of self-congratulation is tone deaf!!

Labour is tackling the cost-of-living crisis for leaseholders🌹 Every year homeowners pay £600m to freeholders in ground rent 🏘️🏠🏡 Labour's Commonhold Bill: - Caps ground rents at £250 ✅ - Reduces these to a pepper corn after 40 years✅ - Ends the scandal of a forfeiture ✅

"This is a London problem" but unfortunately, remediation is not a priority for the @MayorofLondon. Your regular reminder that Sadiq Khan also *refused* to fund an online information hub for victims of the building safety crisis. ❌
Kumail Jaffer@Kumail_Jaffer

"In London alone, we have more than double the amount of dangerous buildings than the rest of the country put together - this is a London problem," the Mayor of London said at People's Question Time last week. mylondon.news/news/zone-1-ne…

I remember when people praised elected mayors for standing up to central government in the pandemic. So why is the @MayorofLondon refusing to challenge government over a law that breaks a @UKLabour manifesto pledge to end leasehold for good? Leasehold is destroying Londoners.

Londoners are being looted in leasehold, suffering negative equity and cannot sell their homes. @SadiqKhan is not standing up to government as the @MayorofLondon to push for improvements to the half-baked draft Commonhold and Leasehold Reform Bill. All for a seat in the Lords?

It is worth noting, that one of the main beneficiaries of @MayorofLondon’s GLA housing grants are @lbbdcouncil The funding is contingent on the adherence to the service charges charter mentioned by the mayor here. @lbbdcouncil have been found at first tier tribunal to be overcharging shared owners in “affordable housing” funded by the GLA, by 20% on their service charges, in a clear violation of their service charge charter. There has been absolutely no consequence for @lbbdcouncil - The GLA are aware of this, but have done nothing to hold the council to account. @tomcopley - you and I have spoken about this on numerous occasions extensively at city hall, is there anything you can do about this?
City Hall Conservatives@CityHallTories

The Mayor talks a lot about tackling leasehold, but he continues to fund leasehold properties - locking owners into the misery of sky-high service charges. @AndrewBoff exposes his hypocrisy 👇

@mtpennycook @cagey_optimist What about leaseholders in mixed tenure blocks with no route to enfranchisement? This is only going to make things worse for anyone in that situation

@HarryScoffin @UKLabour @FreeLeasehlders @mtpennycook and @UKLabour don't want to free leaseholders it just talk. Your fear is not losing cheap votes but losing the big donors who give Nigel Farage 5m to fund his party. Money talks & votes are cheap. But we are not going anywhere block us all, it won't change a thing.

I’m standing up to a multibillion-pound industry extorting people in their own homes. There’s a reason the Housing Minister blocked me. And why a sea of lobbyists try to poison the minds of politicians, journalists, and others against me and @FreeLeasehlders. 6 April.
Free Leaseholders@FreeLeasehlders

Blocked by the Housing Minister and kept out of cosy events in Parliament, we’re taking our message direct to the people. Spoke with Dan Knott on why leaseholders cannot afford the Government’s disastrous two-tier approach... and why the rebellion has only just begun. 6 April.

Well done @AndrewBoff 👏 "The Government have given 40 yrs to do so" NO @MayorofLondon the Government has given 40 yrs to phase out EXISTING ground rents. These are two different things. With the Commonhold & Leasehold Bill due to become law in the next two years, it proposes to make Commonhold the DEFAULT tenure for ALL new flats. 💥YOU lead the way 💥YOU have a choice ..... 🤔 💥STOP Perpetuating leasehold - ACT NOW #GetCommonholdDone @LKPleasehold @LondonLabour

@LondonLabour And 38 years to end Leasehold. You missed that. 38 more years of the feudal system. Not good enough @ZackPolanski keep calling them out.

I'm not convinced this is going to get better for Labour by then drawing attention tothe Mayor saying leasehold is a feudal system but then still building more leasehold properties. It's the perfect demonstration of how Labour says one thing and does the opposite!
London Labour@LondonLabour

As you tweet endlessly, Labour is getting on with ending the feudal leasehold system. ✅ Ground rents capped at £250 ✅ New leasehold flats banned ✅ Forfeiture scrapped ✅ Easier move to commonhold The difference between power and protest.

Leasehold Hostage
Leasehold Hostage@endleaseholduk·
Leaseholders are being held hostage by abhorrent Labour politicians. They could abolish leasehold tomorrow but refuse to. @UKLabour are undoubtedly in the pockets of property developers. Let’s make sure they get a good electoral kicking in the May elections. @ZackPolanski

YES! This version of @UKLabour cares more about the interests of developers and ground rent grazers than ordinary people. They are keeping leasehold on life support by protecting money-for-nothing ground rents until 2068. But their manifesto promised to END leasehold.
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?
