I wasn’t expecting this! But so delighted - from such a brilliant shortlist - to have won Political Journalist of the Year. Thank you 🙏🏽
Society of Editors UK@EditorsUK

The @EditorsUK Political Journalist of the Year goes to @PippaCrerar. The judges said that, once again, she has led the way on uncovering stories that politicians would rather you didn't know - or that they'd first had a chance to spin in their favour! #MFA2023 @CisionUK

.@AngelaRayner tonight confirms a Bill against leasehold tenure within first King’s Speech of a @UKLabour govt. This is unfinished business for the party which introduced Commonhold, the fairer pro-homeowner system, after years of Tory dither and delay. theguardian.com/society/2023/o…

Leasehold Debt Trap
Leasehold Debt Trap@joedd90·
“Resi leasehold reform is captured by vested interests” Fantastic speech @cheng_christine @LibDems on the LEASEHOLD SCAM so many captive to. @10DowningStreet must know the longer it exists the more peoples mental, financial, physical health is abused? Time for @CommonholdNow!
Commonhold Now@CommonholdNow

@LibDems @HelenMorganMP @Law_Commission From conference floor, @cheng_christine, a member of the Federal Policy Committee, delivered a sensational speech urging leasehold abolition. She calls out leasehold for institutionalising inequality, advantaging developers over homebuyers, and fully endorses commonhold. (3/8)

In Woking we have Lib Dem councillors living in flats and directly affected by #Leasehold and the building safety crisis. This is great news and the Tories should be very worried. I know who has my vote (we'll forget the student loan debacle of 2010)

🚨@LibDems COMMIT TO LEASEHOLD ABOLITION, OUTFLANKING @Conservatives AND @UKLabour TO WOO THE 5 MILLION HOUSEHOLDS🚨 Just now, Liberal Democrats voted at their conference to commit the party to leasehold abolition as they continue to love-bomb critical Blue Wall voters. (1/8)

Watt a result indeed! We helped these readers overturn £23,000 of unfair energy debt ahead of winter after billing blunders that have driven them to despair. The distress these disputes put people through is heartbreaking. Watt a team @laurapurkess and @JamesFlanderss 🥊💡⚡️

Great result in today’s @TheSun with the consumer team winning 23k back for readers in dispute about their energy bills! With @leahmilner and @laurapurkess

BREAKING: The Shadow Housing Minister tonight clarifies @UKLabour hasn’t junked @lisanandy’s pledge! @AngelaRayner must exploit Tory weakness here. Leasehold, the last bastion of a class society, is ready to be dismantled. Redistributive. Vote-winner. Cost neutral to Treasury.

Leasehold is an emotive issue for those of us who live the daily reality of financial abuse at the hands of faceless freeholders. Here is my reaction to the news that @UKLabour are walking back on the @lisanandy pledge for a Bill in the first 100 days. politicshome.com/news/article/h…

Put it this way, if this was a new law, leasehold would never get passed in any country. It's a scam. The owner pays nothing for maintenance of their building whilst sucking from the leaseholders. Should be illegal @CommonholdNow
Oggy Boytchev@oggyboytchev

@RFAssociation Under the current leasehold system, leaseholders do have the legal and financial obligation to pay the freeholder and his agent potentially unlimited amounts of money for the maintenance of a building they don’t own! Who’s going to vote for that?
