Summarization
The tweets cover various topics related to housing and finance, including criticism of high-risk mortgage taking, support for renters' rights, concerns about lease extension disqualifying qualifying leaseholders from protection, and the impact of interest rate rises on mortgage prisoners. There is also discussion about the Renters Reform Bill not including sufficient provisions for protecting disabled renters and the need for the housing system to be more accessible, affordable, and safer for them. Some tweets argue that higher interest rates are positive news for the UK economy and tenants as they will bring down house prices and stop the mentality that house prices always rise. There are also calls for the focus to be on tenants rather than asset-rich owners.

| 1639241104980684802 | @Victoria_Spratt @jessiehewitson @theipaper @mortgageprison I don’t know what the additional £386 a year quoted by MoneyFacts is based on! I’m paying 50% more than 2021 - an extra £6,600 pa excluding yesterday’s rise. I’m a #MortgagePrisoner with #MAS5 part of CoOp Bank. My ‘base rate’ 2012-2021 was 5.75%. Now 8.13%. #UnethicalBanking | 9 |
| 1639194820072677378 | @Victoria_Spratt @jessiehewitson @theipaper @mortgageprison I'm one of the 200,000. My mortgage has gone from £797 a month to £1245 a month in less than a year. 8.45% int rate, which is going to go up again now after yesterday's BOE rate rise. There is only so much a vast majority of us mortgage prisoners can do, and time is running out. | 8 |

| 1639278598254211079 | 🏘️ Hundreds of thousands of “mortgage prisoners” are facing rates of more than 8%, an increase of hundreds of pounds a year, after the Bank of England raised interest rates for the 11th consecutive time @Victoria_Spratt and @jessiehewitson report https://t.co/J31Cd40YUM | 6 |

| 1639197175916687361 | @Victoria_Spratt @jessiehewitson @theipaper @mortgageprison Buying a house with leverage at ridiculous multiples of one's income is high risk. The poor have already been subsidising people's mortgage risk-taking for over a decade. Enough is enough. Highly-leverage risk takers should not be bailed out. Let the free market deal with it. | 47 |
| 1638517962347773953 | @Victoria_Spratt Thanks Vicky. I am certain he would be very happy to talk to you. If you drop me an email, I will let you have his email details. | 44 |

| 1638242203620241418 | @Victoria_Spratt @redditchrachel @RentersReformCo The end of s.21 ‘by the autumn’? Maybe a Bill with that in in the autumn, but definitely not the end of s.21 by then. Timescale is impossible. | 22 |

| 1638189485862133761 | @Victoria_Spratt @redditchrachel @RentersReformCo Please ask her about the Building Safety Act 2022. In particular, what she will do about the fact that lease extension disqualifies qualifying leaseholders from protection? (Most shared owners have short 99-yr or 125-yr leases). | 13 |
| 1639212464783908864 | @Victoria_Spratt @jessiehewitson @theipaper @mortgageprison They entered into a contract with clear financial risk of their own free will and decision. What do you mean theyre lacking support? Who are you suggesting has to support them? Other people/taxpayers who didnt take such financial risks? Why should they? | 12 |
