@matthewpennycookmp.bsky.social MP confirms @teamlabouruk.bsky.social won’t cap service charges. That’s a big deal for the people stuck in leasehold and shared ownership — already hit with spiralling costs and no protection.

Disputed service charges shouldn’t be “pay first, argue later.”

This is a fair and transparent proposal that residents and good landlords should both support.
