Bizarre experience at @LBofBromley. Councillors prayed to God to give them wisdom to make the right decisions. Then Colin Smith,CEO Adetosoye& @MayorofBromley0 said,who cares if we signed off your block with no fire breaks, we'll keep the £1 mil tax you've paid on flats worth £0.

.@HomeBuildersFed who know full well the quality of new build homes is so poor & so dangerous that lenders won't touch them with a barge pole. Instead of squeezing taxpayers & leaseholders for obscene profits for your rogue members, do your job & build safe, quality homes.
Mortgage availability and pricing are often less favourable for new build homes than for older properties. Some lenders do not offer mortgages on new builds, while others provide less competitive terms, particularly for apartments. As a result, higher deposits are often required and many households are blocked from buying energy-efficient new homes. Your First Home provides an opportunity to address this, though the detail will be crucial.

Alex Pretti's father: Our son was shot and killed by the government, federal immigration agents, on January 24th, 2026. We learned about his death from the media as we saw him being shot repeatedly in the back after helping a woman from his community. This was not a protest that Alex was at. His hands were in the air, and his face was on the ground when he was executed by ICE agents. We know exactly what our eyes saw. No one from the federal government called us on that day. But they did go on TV to tell lies about Alex. No one has called us since. No one has recanted those lies.

I smell royal lobbying and interference. They can get exemptions from leasehold laws, but that won't work if leasehold is abolished altogether. A significant part of their 'private' income is from fleecing leasehold tenants.
Andy Burnham is right: over-calculated politics puts people off. Leaseholders are being looted in their own homes. Labour has its second-biggest majority in 126 years. Two and a half years in, word salad, excuses and quiet U-turns on a key manifesto pledge are fuelling fury.

If you leave healthcare completely up to the private sector, they would let you die if they couldn't make a buck off you. Leaving human needs up to a profit driven system is one of the dumbest ideas people have ever had.

Queen Elizabeth also paid £12 million to one of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s victims, yet nobody has asked her how long she had known about it or why she didn’t go to the authorities.

See also: Defective buildings riddled with fire safety, plumbing and structural defects. No accountability. Leaseholders forced to pay for others’ wrongdoing. Government turns a blind eye while rewarding those who engineered this mess with new Help to Buy cash. Need more?

LHs are sick of excuses. Another interview, another promise, another vague deadline. Meanwhile, SC soar, accountability remains elusive & LHs are still trapped in same broken system. On the ground, NOTHING HAS CHANGED. Labour dragging its feet why should LHs believe anything will
Service charges up 26% in a year. Our supporters are clinging on by their fingernails while the government retreats on its manifesto promise to end leasehold. @andyburnham talks about taking back control. So why won’t his upcoming Bill give leaseholders the Right to Manage?

Mostly dangerously defective
London's flats market in biggest downturn in 17 years; high mortgage rates, hiked stamp duty; restrictions on buy-to-let landlords. And that's before Labour's mad mansion tax

Inflation spiked in 2022, so the previous govt capped shared owners’ rent increases at 7% in 2023. Housing associations resented it. Pennycook promised he wouldn’t cap our rent increases for the next decade. Now they have "greater certainty".

How has housing been allowed to get and stay this bad?
Despite repeated reports to Peabody, Kent House stairwells remain pitch black, including designated fire escape routes. Residents have been left in darkness for days. This is a serious safety concern. How much longer must residents wait for basic repairs? @RNBlake @TeamPimlico

Microsoft just made $133.7 BILLION in net income last year. Today they announced they are getting rid of 60,000 workers. Fuck these companies man.

Cardinal Lofts (another dangerously unsafe @railpen building) mentioned at the Second Reading. A building so unsafe residents were permanently evicted and eventually bought out as they couldn't sell and move on. And yet some say they're the lucky ones...

They said Hillary was ahead in the polls. They said Kamala was ahead in the polls. I don’t give a fuck what the polls say right now. Get your ass out there and fucking vote.

Imagine if you stood up at work and said “You know who has one hell of a beautiful ass? It’s Carol from accounting. Stand up Carol! Show them your ass!” You’d be fired within the hour but the president gets a pass because everyone has accepted the fact that he’s a scumbag.
Trump: I looked at one hell of a beautiful ass before, Nicki Minaj. That's hard to miss.

'No building and no residents will be left behind' says @AngelaRayner at the Second Reading of the building safety bill. I'm not sure those who have spent a huge amount of money/their life savings on interim costs eg insurance will come out of this not feeling left behind..
