Absolutely. I will have to pay way more to extend the lease on my flat than I paid to buy it originally. Unfortunately Labour, like the Conservatives, are all about protecting freeholders’ ability to fleece their less well-off victims. I bought my flat once, I shouldn’t have to buy it again.

Leasehold is an abomination that should be abolished, regardless of the impact on the Grosvenors, Cadogans, Calthorpes and their ilk. They’ve had a good run for a few centuries but it’s time for change.

An absolutely shocking story in two parts and outstanding journalism to boot.

Part one

Coverage of the refugee proposals demonstrates why we have such a broken political system. Endless focus on left-wing anger and right-wing support. Basically nothing on whether the reforms will work. They will not, which is why we'll still be here having the same debate in three years.

at first, I thought writing my villains to be irredeemable cartoonishly evil idiots whose primary motivations are just "more more MORE for me" would be a little tough to believe or buy into, but now it just seems a little too realistic

I think Americans are realizing that democracy is a participation sport, and the the government is ours if we want it to be. I feel like we got complacent and hoped some other third party would do the work for us. Seems like we have to learn that lesson every generation.

Reporter: Mr. President, why wait for congress to release the Epstein files? Why not just do it now?

Trump: It's not the question that I mind. It's your attitude… I think the license should be taken away from ABC. We have a great commissioner, a chairman who should look at that.
