"Hamas are not currently in favour of a two-state solution. They're in favour of a no Israel solution." Foreign Secretary Lord Cameron says there should be a state for Palestinians that "gives them dignity of statehood" but also guarantees Israeli security. 📺 Sky 501
New Inquiry evidence exposes further failure by LibDem leader Ed Davey, as the responsible minister at a key time in the emerging #PostOfficeScandal - when many of the worst impacts could have been stopped. So many warnings ignored. libdemwatch.org/blog/f/post-of… #LibDems @MichaelLCrick

🚨PROJECT FEAR UPDATE🚨 Big Freeholders are becoming increasingly hysterical and unhinged in a last bid attempt to scupper ground rent reform. These ads are being displayed across the political blogosphere. Ministers and journalists must not fall for this fake news.

In mid 1970s H Wilson called a cabinet meeting declaring he’d had enough of leaks and the next minister to do do would be sacked. During a break T Benn went out and bought 1st edition of Standard. The headline: ‘Wilson: There must be no more cabinet leaks’.

Be interesting to know how many “real estate” roles are down to activities of the myriad of functionally unnecessary freehold shell companies set up since ~2000. Other countries manage without deploying labour to run a “freeholding sector”, which can then be productive elsewhere.

Labour is now the party of home ownership. We’ve got your back.
Be interested to know which pension funds are saying this. Sounds off to me.
Exclusive: Pension funds believe Michael Gove’s proposed reforms of Britain’s “feudal” leasehold system will cost them in the region of £30bn if he proceeds next week with a £250 cap on ground rents and 20-year transition to peppercorn rates. news.sky.com/story/pension-…
I want to see it before I believe it, and the devil is in the detail, but good to see that Gove has managed to ram this through A cap *should* face no successful legal challenge, and the 20y transition is so long that freeholders will feel they're still in the game.

@MarkKleinmanSky No comment from actual insurers and pension funds? @ThePLSA not giving data on the extent to which their members would suffer. The idea of ruined granny and pension fund is just a smokescreen for the freeholder lobby.
.@BBCr4today segment on the miracle of cycle journeys (11%) in Paris outnumbering car journeys (9%). Only mentions at the very end the quite important facts that Paris is a) flat, b) small and c) more than 50% of journeys are on foot. 40sqm not really comparable to London 600sqm.

Jokes aside, this is an absurd post. The idea that Britain will lose access to "flavourful menus" because we're not members of the EU is yet more proof for the idea that Remain/Rejoin sentiment is all about British cultural cringe born of the grim 70s.
@StuartCoster 'Your call is important to us. You are in a queue and will be answered shortly'. (Actually, we couldn't give an arse about your call and also we are going to close your local branch anyway.)
@StuartCoster I still don’t understand how this was ever allowed to happen
A Labour government would not abolish leasehold. Feudal times ahead.
Labour has dropped its pledge to abolish leasehold within the first 100 days of government if it wins the general election trib.al/v1v7vyO
@mtpennycook With respect Matthew the last thing we need is yet more talk. Leasehold has to go. People who pay 4 homes must own & control them. We set service charge budgets. We hire & 🔥 managing agents. Yr party ducked this in 2002. Millions more plunged into leasehold misery as a result.
Very generous of @joepike to shout me/The Times out - it's been a pleasure working with @BBCNewsnight on this. Read documents Sussex NHS Trust spent 6+ months fighting to keep under wraps - ‘Gang of consultants in cover-up at Sussex hospital’... Here 👉 thetimes.co.uk/article/royal-…
@mtpennycook Is that for existing leasehold too? Or just new build?
