Reposted by 🔶Tim HugganLaura Gordon @lauragordon.bsky.social · 07/11/2025The 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) 221 0
Reposted by 🔶Tim HugganLaura Gordon @lauragordon.bsky.social · 07/11/2025(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!) 111 0
Reposted by 🔶Tim HugganLaura Gordon @lauragordon.bsky.social · 07/11/2025This 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. 161 0

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 1029870 0

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. 1132 0
