For leaseholders, including shared owners, suffering unaccountable service charges and undemocratic block management. Demanding widespread commonhold.

Freeing leaseholders is indeed the ultimate litmus test for whether "taking back control" is a genuine political revolution or just another empty slogan. Millions of voters are watching to see if Burnham backs the people or the property lobby. Tick-tock.
Is @andyburnham serious about breaking with the last 40 years and taking back control?
That means devolving power to the people, not leaving decisions over our homes, money and lives to regulators and Big Money lobbyists.

@andyburnham can't talk about ending the squeeze while knowingly allowing freeholders & MAs to continue to legally rinse people with exploitative service charges & doubling ground rents. Real reform means wiping out the feudal model, not tinkering with a scam.

Burnham says “days of leaseholders being squeezed are over” but let’s be real: words aren't enough when millions are trapped in a systemic scam. This is the ultimate test of @andyburnham political capital, will he actually deliver? Leasehold is litmus test for Burnham’s promises.

Awesome Harry! Is Burnham a man of the people and his word? We demand genuine home ownership - nothing less. Are you listening @andyburnham @mtpennycook @AngelaRayner

Milli Vanilli were exterminated by Big Money.
Fab, the surviving singer, has now been vindicated and is back stronger than ever. Watch the doc.
Not the same level, but I know what happens when people extract from you and you threaten vested interests.

So show you are on the side of working people and abolish leasehold
Kemi Badenoch’s speech tells you one thing: the Tories haven’t changed.
Their big plan is to prioritise tax cuts for the wealthiest, whilst having no plan to help ordinary families with the cost of social care.
Last week, Andy Burnham set out a very different vision for Britain.
We’re preparing to build a National Care Service, with the same principles as the NHS: where everyone contributes and everyone is covered.
This will be the biggest change to how the state cares for people since Labour set up the NHS after the Second World War.
Why?
Because for decades, Britain’s social care system has spiralled out of control.
The private care sector has left older people paying care costs which force them to give up all they’ve worked for, or sell their homes, to live in conditions which simply aren’t good enough.
This is a crisis - and Labour won’t let it continue.
So, our way forward will be to found a person-centred, high-quality care service that starts in the home.
Free at the point of use and no care charges paid out of your basic state pension.
The Tories don’t want to talk about social care, because they haven’t got a clue how to deal with the problem.
Labour will face it head on, and build a care system that gives older people the dignity they deserve.

Housing is THE political powder keg, from Spain to Berlin.
The next wave of campaigners won’t be so good-natured…

Politicians don't like what's staring them in the face. They have to invent their own problems to solve instead of dealing with real issues!
Regardless of IHT or stamp duty, you’ll never seriously encourage our seniors to give up family-sized homes and downsize until you detoxify the flats market by ending leasehold.
A policy Labour promised in its manifesto and was elected on.
Scammy service charges. Heirs lumbered with debt-trap flats for years.
SW1 still asleep. Property mafia laughing.

So right! Flats need to be a serious investment for the purchaser, not a liability and cash cow for third party freeholders and management companies!!

Leaving tax matters aside, if “downsizing” means moving from freehold to leasehold, there’s no incentive at all. You can’t blame older people for staying in a freehold house knowing what hell they’d face moving to a leasehold flat. It's probably much cheaper to stay put.
