2/ I'll pull out some quotes in the order the appear in the document.
First this.
Leaseholders have lost this right because they can't sell. They can't even forfeit and hand the keys back to the bank in many cases. They are trapped. There is no freedom of movement.

3/Next we have this. Affordable?
People have already been made bankrupt.
People are paying massive service charges for waking watch and other costs. Bigger bills to come for remediation. I don't think many leaseholder are enjoying other rights atm!

4/This is the big one!
It's a matter of International Law that the UK government ensure the housing we have guarantees our physical safety.
The fire deathtraps we're forced to live in while the government 'hope developers will do the right thing' are clearly not safe!

5/International Law requires @mhclg to act through LEGISLATION, policy and/or spending.
And the moment all they have is weak words and vague guidelines and a meaningless 'naughty list'.

6/It is a requirement that the state legislate to ensure the private sector (developers, freeholder) comply with this human right. To do this they must make the buildings safe without making them unaffordable.
To charge leaseholders the unaffordable costs to remediate is illegal

7/ Sorry for the long rant and poor quality snips but it's late!
