First-time buyers in England are skipping leasehold flats and going straight to freehold houses, according to Barclays. Why? Control over costs. No faceless freeholders ripping you off. Yet The Labour Party has caved to Big Money and U-turned on its manifesto promise to end leasehold.

56% of leaseholders in London say the system has stopped them having kids. Labour promised to END leasehold. In power, they’ve U-turned — to please Big Money. They’ve dropped promised Law Commission enfranchisement and RTM reforms, keeping leaseholders as financial captives.

When we shot this, Joe was just starting his legal battle. 4 years later, the tribunal found the freeholder overcharged £645,000 on insurance, but a loophole means he and his neighbours can’t get their money. Sector roundtables won’t discuss the scam. We do it in 60 secs 👇

Government shouldn’t put what lawyers want above the will of the people. The Labour Party was elected on a manifesto pledge to END leasehold. Steve Reed, it’s not too late to free us. Smash the vampires. Say no to paralysing legalism. Peppercorn ground rents. Go down in history!

Corporations are using human rights law to thwart the will of the people. Starmer and Hermer’s weird legalism is letting rich lobbyists pursue HRA/ECHR lawfare to sabotage vital housing reforms. Ministers: stop hiding behind Big Freehold’s JR trolling. End leasehold for good.

Labour promised to END leasehold. Now it’s a Two-Tier Keir fix, future developments only. A parliamentary committee is calling for an overhaul of the Commonhold and Leasehold Reform Bill. The government must revive the promised Law Commission enfranchisement and RTM reforms.

Imagine this: the last Tory government was more progressive than a self-styled insurgent The Labour Party. Keir Starmer has a choice next week: back working people in the Draft Commonhold Bill or give thin gruel, hiding behind a captured Treasury and Lord Hermer’s weird ECHR legalism.

The government calls us naysayers. We’re asking them to keep their promise. End leasehold. For good. This system is destroying lives.

WOW. Steve Reed has just been schooled on The Labour Party’s leaseholder betrayal by Gideon Amos OBE MP. The government has broken a manifesto and King’s Speech promise to enact the remaining Law Commission enfranchisement and Right to Manage policies in the draft Commonhold Bill. Why?

THROWING AWAY THE TOURNAMENT 🏆 This The Labour Party government isn’t scoring many goals. Keir Starmer is unpopular. So why haven’t they been promoting their massive High Court victory against the freeholder lobby of 2 weeks ago? A win for millions. Yet we get silence! Suss.

FREE THE PEOPLE 🌹 At the recent The Labour Party conference, we made the case for ending leasehold with Barry Gardiner MP and Shula Rich. Watch now. Leasehold entrenches inequality, punishing those least able to defend themselves and keeping wealth and power with the few, not the many.

Student loans are a government-backed, wealth-destroying scam. Want another preying on the young? Leasehold has made the first rung of the property ladder toxic. “Buy” a flat and become a wage slave to a freeholder. Leasehold will collapse the UK property market. WATCH 👇

Take liberation off your Christmas lists! On Thursday, Number 10 sided with grifters, blocking the draft Leasehold and Commonhold Reform Bill. The Labour Party cosying up to lobbyists and prolonging corrupt leasehold alienates flat-dwelling core voters ahead of the local elections.

“The ECHR is to protect the vulnerable, ideally, against an abuse of power, but what we’ve got here is the powerful abusing the vulnerable.” Michael Gove makes the pro-leaseholder case for leaving the ECHR. And more! All in our new podcast, Generation Screwed 👇

Westminster has a Big Money problem. Harry Scoffin told Parliament that No 10 and the Treasury have been captured by lobbyists — which is why The Labour Party has broken a manifesto promise to leaseholders, dropping Law Commission reforms from the new law. Watch the MPs’ reaction 👇

CALLING Keir Starmer, CAMPAIGNER AT HEART You saved men from the gallows. You’re now pushing through the Hillsborough Law. Now’s your time to tackle another injustice: leasehold. It’s pro-growth. Smash the blockers and HM Treasury. Free the 5.3 million. You need this win!

STOP LOOTING LEASEHOLDERS 💰 Labour and the Tories don’t want to talk about this. But making it easier to become a wage slave in a leasehold flat is no fix. So long as the old parties refuse to confront the real ills of our housing crisis, political volatility will continue.

Leasehold is killing the property market, especially in London. 60% of homes sold in the capital last year were leasehold flats - but they made up 90% of all losses, according to Hamptons.
