None of this would be necessary if conveyancers only did their job and explained to home purchasers what the implications were of the leases they were being asked to sign.
This would be a massive betrayal of leaseholders and Labour's manifesto pledge to them ...

Look how visibly excited Robert Jenrick is by his brilliance as a statesman; how high on his own supply.
It is astonishing that this bitter, angry, talentless bingo-caller is considered a serious prospect in a major party. If he or Badenoch are the best they can do, what does it say about the rest?

Cutting benefits doesn't 'incentivise work'. But it does penalise and humiliate people on benefits, and that's the real point.

Not a believer myself, which is probably why I was so unaware of Badenoch's august position as doctrinal arbiter for the Christian Church.
The version of the Gospels where the Samaritan crossed the road to kick the robbery victim in the head and go through his pockets for loose change was suppressed by the woke fathers of the early church.

I suspect there may be some geopolitical objectives hidden in Trump's "peace plan". Whether Ukraine caves and leaves a weak barrier to further Russian adventurism or decides to fight on with just European support, Russia and Europe, 2 major competitors of US, will be locked into a costly arms race.
This is not a “peace deal”. It’s a 28-point surrender plan drafted and leaked to US media by Russia, and Trump treated it like it was his own. Rubio admitted as much to senators.
This is shaping up to be a train wreck.
