Fire in my building - a thread. Possibly of interest to @jules_birch @insidehousing @guardiannews @BBCLondonNews threadreaderapp.com/thread/1…

So many of the problems we have today started with the Blair government. Most of David Cameron’s egregious policies simply built on and extended what came before under “New Labour.” And people wonder why I’m cynical about the Starmer administration.
A Labour MP owning 15 rental properties tells you all you need to know about Labour values. @mrjamesob was asking about Labour values the other day, and here we have it. If you voted Tory in the 90s and 00s you'll be absolutely fine with @Keir_Starmer 's @UKLabour
This is typical of @MetTVH - they literally do not care whether their tenants live or die, so a broken lift is very small beer indeed to them. @SHAC_Action
@wandsworthnews @MetTVH @MtvTenant @SthLondonPress @insidehousing @Kwajotweneboa the lift at Haverstock House (Putney) has been out of order since May and won’t be fixed until til November. There are elderly residents who’ve been unable to go outside for 5 months

Housing associations have set up an industry trade body to promote shared ownership. They're asking for feedback on their "Code of Conduct". Click on their link, have a read, and let them know your views.
📢 Calling all shared owners (future, present and past) and housing professionals.The Shared Ownership Council is consulting on a NEW Code of Good Practice and we want to hear from you! The deadline is the end of July. Here's how to share your feedback.

Taking your landlord to court can be challenging, especially when it's so hard to get legal representation. The process can seem confusing and intimidating.
Our First Tier Tribunals workshop aims to unpick the process with clear tips on how to prepare and what to expect.

Open to all but best if you can register with SHAC to be advised of any changes and get the handouts directly - shaction.org/shac-registrati…
Hey, @crisis_uk If you'd spoken to any MTVH tenants, you'd know that appointing their ex-CEO Geeta Nanda to your board is a terrible idea. (I'd tag her, but she left twitter rather than engage with residents on a public platform) insidehousing.co.uk/news/mtv…

Today we remember the 72 men, women and children taken from us at Grenfell Tower 7 years ago.
With time, those responsible hope we will all forget. Join us this evening at the Notting Hill Methodist Church at 6pm to show them we won’t 💚
I’m not sure the Labour manifesto matters all that much. Keir Starmer has reneged on every pledge he made from his leadership campaign onwards, and there’s no reason to believe he won’t do the same when he gets to no. 10.

It's disappointing that the government's response to the @CommonsLUHC report demonstrates so little regard for the "unbearable reality" experienced by many shared owners.
How many shared owners will cast a Conservative vote come 4 July?

I'm a working class person, and if @Keir_Starmer's @UKLabour is a natural home for Tories like Natalie Elphicke, it's not a natural home for me. And I'm as convinced as I need to be that Keir Starmer's Labour couldn't give less of a s*** about that.

The piece addresses the factors driving landlords to financially exploit tenants & residents leading to service charge abuse.
If you believe this needs to be debated in Parliament, you need to sign the petition.

Thanks @housingsector for this excellent piece on the flawed economic model for delivering public housing:
"the long-term sustainability of relying heavily on property sales remains questionable. The risk of being unable to offload properties quickly or at desired prices looms large".
And also a nuanced exploration of rent and service charge strikes.
I just completed my postal ballot for the mayoral and London Assembly elections. Count Binface and Rejoin EU, in case you were wondering. They’re no more or less ridiculous than any of the other candidates.
I’m one of the lead organisers for @ActionShac and a number of MTVH tenants within SHAC are collating a list of all the service charge strikes and disputes currently underway. If there’s a SC strike or dispute in your area, do let me know. DMs are open

Please reconsider this speaker @insidehousing. @THCHousing, and Mrs Bhogil have done nothing but heap misery on their residents, one of their favourite methods is stonewalling, ie not engaging. They even quit twitter to avoid engagement.
MTV_Tenant retweeted
Shocking to see that @insidehousing is lauding Mandeep Bhogil as a guest speaker at the ‼️ wait for it ‼️ tenant / resident engagement conference!!!!
Maybe instead of speaking on the conf circuit, she could speak to THCH residents?
THCH is being rescued by PoplarHarca due to a £90m black hole in its accounts. It has stopped doing repairs or engaging at all with residents, and is double charging them.
No-one should be inspired by her.
