Keir Starmer's time is up

Tracy Brabin elected West Yorkshire mayor, meaning there'll be a by election in Batley and Spen.

Don't see Burnham going for it, as it would make him look an opportunist twat after committing to the Manchester mayor job a couple of days ago. And if he did go for it kieth would make sure someone else was parachuted in. Anyway, if Labour lose Batley and Spen there's going to be real pressure on starmer.
 
Rather more. A block of flats and rents a room in her flat.

Not that I want to defend these people, but before everyone shoots themselves in the foot calling it out, I think the "block of flats" is a management company that tenants flat owners have formed to look after the shared fabric of a building they live in. Not exactly hot stuff.

Looking at company house you are about half right, several of the directors registered there but several are not.

yes, that. sounds like it's more likely to be the sort of block that's 'shared freehold' where the leaseholder of each flat has a share in the freehold of the block, rather than the freehold being owned by someone else

they could be leaseholders who for whatever reason (probably buy to let) rent the whole flat out and don't live there

I did that already - FML :facepalm: - and they all lived there bar two, one of which is Powell (MP for Manchester, registered there) and one other.
 
As a permanent renter it's all fucking obscure to me anyway so fuck it.

leasehold can be a massive crock of shite.

i have a vague feeling that the blair government did consider doing something to improve it, but since a lot of freeholders tend to be bloody rich and make money out of screwing the individual leaseholders, it got booted in to the long grass...

Leasehold on flats makes a small amount of sense, shared building after all*, otherwise it's just renting by another name.

*It's wildly fucked up though as seen by the cladding bill fuckery.
