LEASEHOLD is SERFDOM
Developers large and small should be in no doubt: we are coming after you #handsoffmyhome #leaseholdscandal #abolishleasehold #getcommonholddone @EOCS_Official @NLC_2019 @LKPleasehold @ukcag @FT @PRJournoRequest
NEVER BUY TOXIC LEASEHOLD!
A government-backed scheme transferring billions to developers and negative equity to a new generation of first-time buyers – all to build defective shoeboxes and meet @uklabour’s targets.
The chickens will come home to roost. But the minister will be long gone by then.

If capitalism truly rewards hard work, why is it that those who perform the most physically demanding and socially vital labor—growing food, cleaning hospitals, building homes—earn the least, while those who move money between accounts on a screen reap the greatest rewards?

Zack Polanski has created a political party that tells the truth, where each member is free to speak the truth. El-Sayed in the US has fought against his own party to speak the truth - we need to recognize how different The Green Party is, and support it.
Quite revealing that Labour will work happily with the Tories or even Reform but are determined to turn Green Party opposition to a genocide into a local political football.
Andy Burnham. Keir Starmer. The Labour Party still feels very Peter Mandleson.

Elon Musk spent almost half a billion dollars on the Texas election and still lost.
He could have ended child hunger in America with that money.
What an asshole.

A corporation can announce record profits, fire 5,000 workers, and get applauded for efficiency.
A cashier asks for another $2 an hour and suddenly every economist on television is worried about inflation.
What a fucking joke.

Capitalism has ruined people's perception of the world and made them think it's normal to be selfish and greedy when it isn't. It's not natural to think human beings should go without shelter, food, and healthcare simply because they have no money. It's alarming.

Late stage capitalism:
A supermarket throws perfectly good food in the dumpster, pays its workers so little they can barely afford groceries, then asks customers to donate to the food bank at checkout.
And we're supposed to admire how fucking efficient this system is.

We need to end this myth that the private sector runs things well, and the public sector runs things badly, before it is too late.
It is very easy to make the public sector look bad by starving it of money and resources over time. We must learn to see through this.
LEASEHOLD IS SLAVERY
The government’s ’Your First Home’ scheme is aimed at helping young folk get a foot on the property ladder. So why is it applicable to leasehold flats? These are NOT legally property. They are confiscatory rentals! Be warned! Stay away! @FreeLeasehlders

Who wants to become a debt slave by taking on a leasehold flat?
The government is keen to lure desperate young people in with its “Your First Home” scheme, while developers dangle £40,000 towards private school fees.
How to break democracy.

Labour and the Conservatives are a uniparty on housing.
Far too close to developer donor cartels, and far too distant from the median voter, who sees cruelty and corruption in the policies being pushed through.
As Ed Miliband once put it: strong when standing up to the weak, but always weak when standing up to the strong.

£40,000 towards private school fees.
In exchange, a lifetime as a leasehold serf.
No wonder developers and politicians are so despised.
