The UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham has said he would be âreally concernedâ to lose Manchester Cityâs Emirati owners from the Premier League.
âTheyâve been such a huge partner in the building of modern Manchester and obviously the building of Manchester City into the global force that it is.â

Let this be a salutary lesson to every voter out there. Reform will impoverish you, their base. Take away your ability to work if youâve young children, and take away any benefits you might need to sustain your family. Your children wonât get preschool ed. Itâs how they like it.

Will flats be excluded?
Because otherwise youâre throwing young people to the wolves: scammy freeholders on one side, negative equity on the other.
This developer bailout is happening at breakneck speed, while you drag your feet on the manifesto promise to end leasehold.
Weâre acting to support those who canât rely on help from the bank of Mum and Dad.
Our Your First Home scheme will help more families get their first rung on the housing ladder with a deposit of just 2.5%.
Less to save upfront and a 20% equity loan to bring down monthly costs.
With pre-registration set to open by the end of the year, help is on the way for first-time buyers.

Leaseholders of Holborn and St Pancras, make your votes count! Labour have been woeful up to & including @AngelaRayner âs lame LBC interview this morning. I hate Polanski, but on this Iâd hold my nose and vote for him. Punish them or nothing will ever change.
.@UKLabour are asking for our votes in Holborn & St Pancras.
@Sagal_AW ignored our request for help over 53 Agar Grove in 2025.
@andyburnham knew my family growing up, my sister even used to look after his chinchillas.
The invitation is simple: come and see the building.

New British-built accessible trains are welcome, but these trains won't be owned by GBR - they'll be leased from private profiteers.
All new rolling stock should be publicly owned. It's time to Own Our Trains. aslef.org.uk/OwnOurTrains
TransPennine Express is to receive in 2034 29 five-car battery electric Adessia Stream trains built by Alstom in Derby, DfT said tonight. Rock Rail will own the ÂŁ1bn fleet which features level boarding and 3 wheelchair spaces, leasing it to TPE. Production starts in 2028.

If we want denser housing around stations and in cities, a functioning apartment market matters.
A generation watching friends become trapped by service charges and toxic leases isnât much of an advertisement for flat ownership.

Early indicators are pointing to an impending collapse in leasehold sales, with warning signs showing the market is entering a critical downward phase. A precursor to a catastrophic decline, affecting the whole property market. Leaseholders, lenders and the economy as a whole.

Matt Frei, "The number of asylum seekers living in hotels has halved in a year"
- If Labour could do this, why didn't the Conservatives? -
Did the Conservatives create this anti asylum seeker situation to stoke division in the country and to perpetuate a culture war?

Arm yourself with our briefing.
If you donât respond by tomorrow nightâs deadline, youâre emboldening the leasehold mafia to extract even more concessions from this government.
Even if ground rent doesnât affect you, stick up for leaseholders and make your voice heard: freeleaseholders.org.uk/our-âŠ

As prospective house buyers get wise to the legal noose they place around their own neck when buying a leasehold, growing numbers of flats stand empty and unsold. These offers to prospective buyers canât offset the risk of uncontrolled future service charges. End leasehold now!
Housebuilders are offering to pay buyersâ estate agent fees in a desperate attempt to offload luxury new-builds.
Oakley, a developer in Sussex, said it would cover the costs as an incentive for buying an apartment at the Argentum development in Hove, according to an email seen by The Telegraph.

The understanding of the cash trap that leasehold occupation entails is what keeps prospective buyers away. The unknowable and uncontrollable cash demands that freeholders can legally impose is what is killing the market in flats. End leasehold now!

Wake up, Westminster!
The system can no longer manufacture consent for the leasehold scam.
We wonât take to the streets like Franceâs Gilets Jaunes or Indiaâs Cockroach protesters.
The English are doing something less obvious, but just as devastating: voting with our wallets.

This can't be stressed enough with leaseholds in England & Wales, particularly with service charges & ground rent. It's up there with private parking charges as one of the biggest scams going. Leaseholds were banned in Scotland many years ago.
Public service announcement: do not buy a leasehold flat.
In addition, if you're buying a new build housing development type thingie house, make sure that it is not leasehold.
Here endeth the lesson.
