This kinda sums it all up!

@privateeyenews.bsky.social can I have a job plz?

"Reeves became concerned that capping ground rents could deter property investors." 🙄🙄 What about the 4.83 million leasehold owners getting ripped off?! www.theguardian.com/money/2026/j...

Different day. Different team 🔶 Same Catford South cold. Same warm reception 🧡 @chrishogben.bsky.social

Lib Dems won a vote today on fixing Brexit - by getting Britain back into the EU Customs Union. The vote was extremely close - so if Nigel Farage had bothered to turn up, he could have stopped it. The bad news is that Reform want to destroy our country... www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Spotify's algorithm inexplicably pushing me far right content platforming a convicted criminal. I'm too @libdems.org.uk for this... 🤮

Leaseholders: Today until Friday in the High Court, a group of wealthy freeholders will challenge the gov's planned leasehold reforms - and try to uphold the broken, exploitative system they profit from. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

It is seventy years today since the publication of the ‘Russell-Einstein Manifesto’, containing the immortal words of those two great humanists on the great potential of human science and the great peril of human conflict - words as true today as then.

The new Gov Find-a-Tender service launch going well then... You really have to sack contractors who can't deliver stability or stability...

Thank you for your support. 🇺🇦

A new era begins at Greenwich Theatre! New Exec Director and a new lease signed with the council! I'm lucky to be a trustee here - and we've just launched a fundraiser for some great accessibility improvements! www.justgiving.com/campaign/gre...

We're into a second day here in SE23. Thrilled that our water bills are going up. It's our fault Thames Water's board-approved infrastructure plan was deficient.

Just watched The Producers at the Menier Chocolate factory - superb. Many dancing Nazis. A reminder that if there's one thing the darkness hates (more than being ignored), it's being laughed at. And laugh we must.

If this country made the slightest bit of sense we'd be beating Europe's doors down to secure a youth mobility scheme. inews.co.uk/opinion/brex...

Silence on Leasehold since the King's Speech. I really hope lobbyists aren't wielding more power than voters for all three main parties, who all had abolishing leasehold in their manifesto... order-order.com/2024/11/18/e...

Starting out as Ukraine / Lib Dem / Leasehold lurker on here, but will have interesting things to say (plus hopefully a very exciting launch) in due course!

Well this is nicer isn't it!
