This is the funniest scene Iโve ever seen on anything before! I canโt stop watching!!! #Corrie #Spider #ActingMasterclass ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ
I guess thatโs why @mtpennycook isnโt keen on the proposed review of Shared Ownership then! ๐๐คฌ

Yet another early Xmas present for developers and housing associations.
The gaslighting in the Ministerial Statement is off the scale.

Government widens net to try and hoodwink more unsuspecting people into Snared Ownership in attempt to keep the property Ponzi going.

Inflation spiked in 2022, so the previous govt capped shared ownersโ rent increases at 7% in 2023.
Housing associations resented it.
Pennycook promised he wouldnโt cap our rent increases for the next decade. Now they have "greater certainty".
This governmentโs plans are too little, too late.
We call on MPs scrutinising the Social Housing Bill to insist on a statutory review of shared ownership and demand funding for buybacks.

๐ Minister @mtpennycook has set out his plans for shared ownership.
The problem? Itโs a plan to sell more shared ownership homes, not to help existing shared owners.

Just exhausting..
10 years since you locked us all up in cladded flats & threw away the key..

Thatโs another ยฃ1 billion for DEVELOPERS.
On top of public funding for "Your First Home".
@andyburnham This budget is increasingly looking like an early Xmas present for housebuilders who have failed to meet their building safety remediation targets.
๐ฐ An extra ยฃ1 billion for the social and affordable homes programme to boost council housebuilding - thatโs worth 10,000 homes ish
๐ฐ Plans to make it easier for councils to borrow
A signal of intent which will make a difference - but - remember, the total ยฃ40 billion social and affordable homes programme (SAHP) is spread out over 10 years so thereโs around ยฃ30 billion still to come at an unspecified dateโฆ.that wonโt huge number of homes in the short term

@AngelaRayner @andyburnham you talk about cost of living, hereโs something you can do to help millions of shared ownership victimsโฆ why are we subject to above RPI rent increases? @MartinSLewis
Jussie ๐๐๐ป retweeted
Your regular reminder that, if youโre a shared owner, you have no option to challenge the rent increases youโre required to pay. Your rent will continue to rise above RPI every year.

Calum can't sell his flat. An offer ยฃ75k below what he paid fell through. Cladding issues and high service charges are factors.
This is the human cost of the building safety crisis. Lives on hold. Choices taken away.
Will Labour get a grip or keep kicking the can down the road?

It appears there is a new national sales campaign for leasehold retirement park homes.
Please donโt go near these schemes, I guarantee you will regret it.
Jussie ๐๐๐ป retweeted
Same trap here, with the added curse of shared ownership. Service charge was ยฃ6k last year - with no amenities.
Remediated or not, these 1-bed flats will remain unsellable as @mtpennycook continues to fund newbuilds marketed with underestimated first-year service charges of ยฃ2k.

Many buildings weren't built correctly in the first place. Why are any innocent leaseholders paying for any historic fire safety defects? The latest Bill proposed by @AngelaRayner and @mhclg doesn't go far enough to help #endourcladdingscandal. ๐๐ผ @LBC interview with @AliMirajUK
Jussie ๐๐๐ป retweeted
Hope residents are OK. But no surprise we have a toxic low quality house building industry - light years behind automotive and aeronautical. Politically @UKLabour to get an urgent grip. Cladding, Building Safety , Remediation & Fleecehold. Whereโs @AngelaRayner? @FreeLeasehlders
Jussie ๐๐๐ป retweeted
Very worrying. And itโs not the first time blocks of flats have had to be decanted due to structural safety concerns.
The building safety crisis is about far more than cladding and fire safety.
@TomCopley, how many Londoners are affected?
