G&W Labour

I will always make decisions that are in the national interest. It’s why we aren’t getting dragged into the Middle East conflict, and why we are fighting to protect your living standards. And while opposition parties have responded by dividing communities, we respond with hope and pride. Pride in our communities, and the hope of a country that’s better for our children. That’s what we’re fighting for. Vote Labour on Thursday 7 May.

London is the greatest city in the world, and so ofc @SadiqKhan had to come to @Royal_Greenwich to celebrate it! We’ve built the most council houses of any London borough in past 4 years, are cleaning our air, investing in our communities and Getting Things Done for Greenwich!

This weekend, thousands of Labour members were out campaigning across the country, sharing our message of pride in our communities. Thanks to everyone who got involved!

Back out on the Flamsteed Estate today. Thank you to all residents who spoke with us ahead of the local elections on 7 May #VoteLabour 🌹🌹🌹

Happy Palm Sunday from all of us at the Labour Party!

🚨 OUT NOW 🚨 New towns on the horizon 🏘️ Housing minister @mtpennycook, Labour MP @SEANLWOODCOCK, urbanism professor Susan Parham, @shortthought from the National Federation of Builders, and housing correspondent @Victoria_Spratt join @Alain_Tolhurst to discuss the government's plan to build seven new towns in England 🎧 Listen now: pod.fo/e/3c3869

Leasehold is going to 'wither on the vine': @mtpennycook assures APPG this week he will see through the reforms @justinmadders @NLC_2019 leaseholdknowledge.com/pennycook-prom…

Mixed tenure developments create diverse communities and support faster rates of build out. That’s why we’re backing mixed tenure sites through national planning policy, support for partnership models and record investment in social and affordable housing.

'Council tax has to go up', says Nigel Farage on a visit to the South East. Here’s what Reform’s leaflets in the South East actually said. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

On Tuesday, I gave evidence to the @CommonsHCLG as part of their pre-legislative scrutiny of our draft Commonhold and Leasehold Reform Bill 🧵

By end we instead mean preventing the system from perpetuating itself by making commonhold the default tenure and reducing the prevalence of existing leasehold by making it easier for leaseholders to enfranchise; to control the buildings they live in; and to covert to commonhold.

Despite what the naysayers and bad faith commentators assert, this Labour government is progressing the most ambitious overhaul of property law in over a century, if not longer. We can't end the leasehold system overnight, but we will finish the job in this Parliament.
