G&W Labour

Wishing the Jewish community here and around the world a very happy Passover. Chag Sameach!

Labour will always defend British interests abroad and stand up for you at home.

As a result of decisions made by this Labour government, today sees: 🌹A 6.6% reduction in the energy price cap. 🌹A Minimum Wage and National Living Wage rise. 🌹NHS prescription charges frozen. We're delivering for working people.

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.

We’re cracking down on criminal fly-tippers in Greenwich. See illegal dumping? Report it on FixMyStreet 📱 — quick and easy. ⚡ 80% cleared within 48 hours. Together, let’s keep Greenwich clean. Here in Greenwich — we’re getting things done.

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.
