And I will always be grateful for people having the capacity to film on their phones. Not getting in the way impeding response or shoving it in a family’s face filming. But capturing what happened filming… I am going to always be a fan of that. Only way to counter a lie

[Lucy Easthope @LucyGoBag]

It’s far too early to piece together what happened then decide that it’s the demise of humanity. We alway see helpers, we always see fear (especially with ferocious fire) and the complexity of human behaviour in emergencies is a whole field of study. Take time before you analyse

Irrespective of whether it is a good idea or not, it seems nuts that the Mayor of London can't even pedestrianise a street without permission from the Deputy Prime Minister. Let's make devolution substantive! @CentreforCities

Nice piece from @calebwatney in the NYT today.

There are lessons here that go beyond science policy.

This is a great article from @DAaronovitch (not just because it mentions me): a proper corrective to the dewy-eyed romanticism around slum living and unfair criticisms of modernist council housing. (It's also important to support good local journalism.)

We’ve published 13 National Audit Office reports today which could not be published during the pre-election period. There’s a lot to take in but will tweet a few bits of coverage

[Gavin Kelly @GavinJKelly1]

Spending by councils on homelessness is up *113%* since 2010, while spending on all housing services is down 11%.

Stats that reveal a lot about the social condition of the country.
