Yes there is

The whole system needs reforming - I think at least for leasehold houses there should be an obligation to offer the freehold to the leaseholder at fair cost + fees before selling to someone else (and bring in commonhold for flats)

(for people not familiar with the Sheffield property market, a lot of houses there are on very long leases at very low ground rent - mine was 999 years at about £3 a year. We'd vaguely planned to buy the freehold but for £3 a year it wasn't a priority!)

This is definitely an issue beyond this guy. My freehold was bought by a different scammy landlord who sent us a bunch of letters threatening massive charges and offering to sell us the freehold at a big markup. In the end we paid him more than it was worth (but less than he asked for) to go away.

Lots of nonsense in the ‘news’ about Le Pen. Unlike other MEPs, she and her colleagues treated the EU with contempt and systematically abused the EP’s complicated funding system. It was not a mistake. It was criminal behaviour. @europarl.europa.eu

Trump exploits weakness. In his first term, he hit us with tariffs, and he’ll do it again if we seem desperate.

Britain should secure a stronger deal, like a new UK-EU Customs Union, to protect our economy and ensure we deal with him from a position of strength.

Sheffield to miss out on £6.7m pothole fund due to Amey PFI deal The government fund will not be used in Sheffield because of a council contract with a private firm.

This seems to have a bot of traction. I was as surprised as anyone to find this out www.bbc.com/news/article...

Well done to Chris for a huge swing from Labour.

This result shows that where we work, we can win people’s trust & their votes - even in the red wall.

It’s vital for liberals to hold Labour to account, provide strong opposition, & ensure we don’t cede this ground to others.

Today is white ribbon day. It’s part of a global campaign to end male violence against women and girls.

To be an ally to women as a man is to hold other men and boys accountable for their behaviours that could lead to violence against women and girls.

I’m a new migrant from Twitter.

This morning’s winter wonderland in Sheffield

Try getting booted off a train to Manchester from Sheffield despite having reservations because it was full and get on the next one, then that was full too …. Upgrades who needs them up here?

Pedestrians spend more, new report reveals Living Streets launches its updated Pedestrian Pound report, showing the correlation between walkable places and thriving business.

Really interesting report from @livingstreets.bsky.social that shows pedestrianised town centres have higher sales.

Pedestrians spend more money in local shops than people arriving by car.

You only have to look at towns and cities in the Netherlands to see this in action.

You know the drill …

UK growth has slowed to just 0.1% after growing for six months.

The Chancellor Rachel Reeves has said growth is key to funding the repair of Britain’s crumbling infrastructure.

You know what would really boost growth? Frictionless trade with the EU…

Hello

Hoi - I’m here too 😂

Campaigning for a better future

Out in Woodhouse again - the perfect antidote to the noise across the pond

The poorest within our society is about to be that little bit more out of pocket thanks to this Labour Government. We need them to go back to the table and support the people they pledged to represent when elected back in July.
