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

😱Halloween Pensions Panic or Not?😱 The freeholder lobby is putting pressure on ministers and officials to shelve or water down a Bill against leasehold in the King’s Speech on November 7th. They claim pension funds will be wiped out! Commonhold Now brings you the truth 👇🏻




@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)

🚨@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)

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






@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?

Our Response to the @RFAssociation's Push Poll and Cherrypicking Of Data bit.ly/47FUfOY To our supporters, be prepared for more of these gaslighting tactics by the freeholder lobby in the run up to the King’s Speech. We all have a duty to push back.
