The government’s leashold reforms have not come from any media pressure, it’s not a political hot potato, performative cruelty or a populist wedge issue with no tanglible benefits. A decent pragmatic move that will improve the lives of ordinary citizens over well heeled owners of capital. It feels very weird to see the Tories actually do something that governments are supposed to be there for.

Michael Gove is confident The Leasehold and Freehold Reform Bill will soon be passed in a “landmark moment for millions”.
He continued to say that the unveiling of new laws in England and Wales would "slash unfair costs and crack down on exploitation".
Such reforms, which prior Housing Minister Rachel McLean assured in May would be enforced, will make it easier for leaseholders to purchase their freehold, sell their properties and extend their lease.

Notwithstanding their party created both the conditions for this man’s homelessness and bolstered the nerve of the scum who attacked him, credit to David Davis and Guto Harri for stepping in and not walking on by.

David Davis is 74 too. Fair play.

Much respect to the man.
