Starmer ignores Property Fund "pension bleating" and overrules Rachel Reeves to cap ground rents henrytapper.com/2026/01/27/s... @HarryScoffin has every right to feel proud of himself #freeleaseholders
Harry Scoffin argues for stricter rules on lobbying.
Campaign groups like #FreeLeaseholders shouldn’t exist. “We shouldn’t be doing the jobs of our elected politicians”

@MatthewPennycookMP.bsky.social Why are leaseholders, who don't own property paying stamp duty? Why are freeholding property owners not paying? Time to stop tax system burdening those already facing huge challenges of leasehold. #FreeLeaseholders
What a joy to read this, congratulations to all involved. I fully agree:
“a case study of the unfolding experience of a disaster response, exhibitions like ours can be excellent devices for the education of emergency responders.” #FreeLeaseholders
I completed it, I resented it as there always seems just another one to do, it took me far too long, i had to find all the info again, I am not sure they actually work. But if I don’t keep doing them I gift freeholders a free pass & I want my freedom back. Please make the effort.

7 years after Grenfell, promise 'those responsible would pay' remains unfulfilled. Instead leaseholders left to shoulder costs while guilty just shrug & walk away. Justice delayed is justice denied. Hold guilty accountable, no more broken promises. @matthewpennycookmp.bsky.social
#FreeLeaseholders
It’s unacceptable for gov to expect leaseholders to become serial litigators. Legal action is costly, stressful & inefficient. The innocent shouldn’t bear burden of fixing a crisis caused by developers & poor regulation. Hold those responsible to account instead.
#FreeLeaseholders
Who wants leasehold status quo to remain?
Big developers making billions from ground rents & fees.
Freehold investors making bank
Management companies profiting from service charges
Insurance Companies hoovering up excessive premiums
UK gov’s of all colours just love their donors
#FreeLeaseholders
It feels to me like UK is creeping closer to a Mani Pulite moment; corruption, cronyism & systemic failures are piling up. The leasehold & building safety crises alone expose a web of negligence & profiteering. Public anger may soon force a reckoning. Accountability isn’t optional #FreeLeaseholders
Fire assessors were meant to solve problems not create new ones. Instead, they’ve added delays, confusion, and spiraling costs leaving innocent leaseholders to drown in red tape and uncertainty. @matthewpennycookmp.bsky.social
When will someone fix this broken system? #FreeLeaseholders
Millions of leaseholders are drowning in debt, unsafe homes & your message @matthewpennycookmp.bsky.social to leaseholders is a vague ‘change is coming’. Empty platitudes won’t pay bills, prevent bankruptcy or fix buildings. We need specifics not platitudes. Lives are at stake now. #FreeLeaseholders
When asked how long leaseholders will wait for reform, Angie referenced Draft Bill from King’s Speech. Pre-legislative scrutiny may take 6-12 months. Final legislation must hit statute books by 2nd Session. Poor briefing or spin? Leaseholders deserve clarity, not further delays. #FreeLeaseholders
#BuildingSafetyCrisis #FreeLeaseholders #Cladding I wrote the tweet above but ran out of space for a hashtag.
I don’t usually use hash tags as I find I usually need every character to say what I need relating to leasehold & the building safety catastrophe but will endeavour to retrain myself #FreeLeaseholders
good to see public broadcaster, BBC London News reporting on gross injustice of service charge exploitation, aka #fleecehold.
#leasehold needs to be abolished, freeholder + management company stopped @matthewpennycookmp.bsky.social.

Since #Grenfell only 1 of the 50 flats in my block has been sold.
We've gone through building safety remediation and have an EWS1, but no one is interested in buying a flat at the moment.

My experience of so called professional management companies is awful.
It's only under Right To Manage that we (the leaseholders) have had any control.
Leasehold reform cannot happen soon enough.

Over on X/Twitter there was a good community, so I'm hoping as people migrate over to Bluesky we can build up the community here.
Let me know if you use any specific hashtags and I'll add them to my feed.
#BuildingSafetyScandal #FreeLeaseholders
I've created a Bluesky feed for building safety / cladding / leasehold issues. This is my first feed using hashtags, so hopefully it works.
