Shocking story in the @Telegraph by @journomadeleine.
The Labour Party is a property owner that profits from the “feudal leasehold” system it has pledged to abolish.
I'm quoted in the story, too*, on Labour's shocking hypocrisy!

*Using a very old, innocent photo!
In @Telegraph this evening: Labour Party cashes in on “feudal” leasehold system it promised to abolish.
An investigation identified several residential properties where the Labour Party was the ultimate freeholder (through two subsidiaries)

Given that the Chancellor can drink at the ballot box (and Healey decided not to) I think I'd have been more impressed if he'd done this there...
A very moving story in today's @Telegraph.
A mother-to-be (of twins), found out she had breast cancer the day before she went into labour.
In the middle of moving house, she'd put off buying life and critical illness cover. She doesn't want others to make the same mistake.
Average mortgage rates hit 6pc.
Will be lots of fear that these rates will climb ever higher.
(But if you're coming off a fixed-rate, worth having a look at trackers... And there's still some sub-5pc deals if you're quick.)

Playing YouTube shorts aloud on a tube is one thing.
Playing them aloud at almost full volume in a Royal London ward waiting room at 8:30pm when everyone there has been there all day is another level.
No one will ask him to stop. He’s watching boxing videos - might be why.
I've been being a bit existential this week (forgive me) and wondering about what makes a mansion a mansion.
This is so that I can help Mr Healey with his rumoured changes to the £2m threshold for the snappily named High Value Council Tax Surcharge.
To start: not a mansion

We spend lots of time talking about how stamp duty is bad for the property market.
But we think less about how difficult its administration is. Made very clear by this story (we fought HMRC, and we won!)

For @Telegraph I had a lovely chat with an old econ tutor of mine (and all-round work expert) @danielsusskind about what AI could mean for jobs.
Can wholeheartedly recommend his new book, What Should My Children Do?

Jeremy Corbyn is selling his North London home for around £700,000 – nearly twice what he paid for it.
The former Labour leader bought the three-bedroom Finsbury Park townhouse for £363,000 in 2007.
@journomadeleine has more on this ⬇️

Got a spare £700k and want to live in Corbyn's house?
(There's already an offer in, but it would be a bargain - he originally listed it for £800,000 in March).

Stirring the pot a little in this morning's @Telegraph: "Leasehold is broken. Abolishing it is not the answer"
There's no doubt leaseholders have been taken advantage of. But are we at risk of throwing the baby out with the bathwater?
