I was going to switch over but saw @josie_darby was on whatever Amanda Holden is presenting…. We need more Josie on the telly! @andyburnham you listening?

After the mid terms........

Watching @bbcquestiontime for the 1st time in a long time without @ZiaYusufUK. I have to say i prefer it… keep it up!

The government’s ’Your First Home’ scheme is aimed at helping young folk get a foot on the property ladder. So why is it applicable to leasehold flats? These are NOT legally property. They are confiscatory rentals! Be warned! Stay away! @FreeLeasehlders

So my ground rent just doubled to £750 a year…. While we wait for laws to come into effect ⏰ Thanks @mtpennycook @UKLabour @AngelaRayner

No, @RSHEngland, it just shows that housing associations have learned to game the TSM system.

Very sad to see this. The government could take away much of the pain by delivering its manifesto promise to end leasehold and reforming Right to Manage so that 50% of leaseholders responding positively to a Notice within 8 weeks can secure RTM and slash their service charges.

Spot on, @JamesMelville. Ordinary families are told to boil less water and watch every penny, while William’s helicopters clock up 58,000 miles. One rule for the public, another for the Palace. That’s royal privilege in a nutshell. 👑

Well @andyburnham kept @mtpennycook as Housing Minister which was a clear message to all of us of how he intends to govern.

🖋️ "I never imagined that, more than 22 years after buying my first home through a Government-backed shared ownership scheme, I would feel trapped in it. My experience illustrates why a review is necessary and why it must address the position of existing shared owners."

“Own nothing, be happy” is no longer just a slogan.

🔴'@Helen_Whately, Shadow Secretary of State for Work & Pensions, has claimed £2 MILLION in expenses in 10 years. Her boss, @KemiBadenoch, has 3 children, claims £2.7K per month to rent a 6 bed farmhouse and tried to claim expenses for a family holiday. The country can't afford @Conservatives.' - @TyrelWallace

Don’t do it!!! Save yourself the hassle of being trapped in a property you think is yours…. But surprise surprise is not!! Save up and buy a real flat!

And that's on top of govt changing thresholds to sell shared ownership flats to higher earners. Housing associations need new first-time buyers to keep the Ponzi going, and L&G is a for-profit. Nothing to see here.

Shared ownership is rarely if ever “affordable.” Relaxing affordability rules so buyers could proceed “where a detailed affordability assessment demonstrates that spending more than 40 per cent of their income on housing costs would still be CONSIDERED affordable” doesn’t seem particularly responsible when questions remain unanswered about service charges, rent and exit fees…@nick_clarkLDR standard.co.uk/news/london/a…

Increased mortgages, increased service charges, increased taxes. But take your time dear @mtpennycook I’m looking forward to voting your party out of power.

📆 Today we met with the Building Safety Minister, Baroness Blake. Head over to our WhatsApp channel for an update on the key issues we raised. ⬇️ whatsapp.com/channel/0029VbA…

The property mafia are having their mouths stuffed with gold by this Labour government, while the rest of us cling on by our fingernails.

Fascinating that Labour are dismantling signature Conservative homeownership reforms, yet His Majesty’s Opposition remains ghostly silent, refusing to stand up for millions of desperate voters. Loving their property donors more than the people?

@HarryScoffin is the only game in town when it comes to fighting for leaseholders 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼Dockyard Doris aka @AngelaRayner is all fur coat and no knickers despite this govts promise to abolish leasehold. 10 million leaseholders will boot her and this govt OUT!
