Weekends like this are hellish for leaseholders trapped in flats. I've had to make plans to be out all weekend because it gets up to 30 degrees inside. Baby can't sleep in that heat, it's unsafe. So grateful I have my village nearby with beautiful shady gardens and paddling pools

The end of my interview on @SkyNews. As I said, if you're a leaseholder who is struggling, reach out and get help. It's tough for everyone involved - we all want to move on and while today moves us on a few steps it will take time. #BuildingSafetyCrisis
Can absolutely relate to this. For me the physical entrapment has been much less than the emotional and financial. My health has suffered for years. With no end in sight. #endourcladdingscandal
Very disappointed by @UKLabour and their response to the #BuildingSafetyCrisis. Having attended this meeting today I can't see the change we need to free all leaseholders. We needed bold change and we've got tweaks. #EndOurCladdingScandal
Today we met with @SamanthaDixonMP ahead of tomorrow’s King’s Speech.
The Remediation Bill is simply too little, too late. It won't make homes safe, protect leaseholders or speed up remediation any time soon.
Labour is still failing to get a grip on the building safety crisis.
‘It was a really, really terrible meeting with Angela Rayner - the vast majority of bereaved families disagreed with her.’
@KMussilhy condemns the government’s decision to demolish Grenfell Tower - ‘this is the last resting place of our families’.

Currently digesting this ruling. The first thing that becomes clear is how impossible it is for the average person to get an RCO like this. The complexities of the Vista Tower case are a very long read. Urge @mhclg to have a read... #endourcladdingscandal https://t.co/Z9IkwvYQHo
"Ordinary people hit with enormous, life-changing bills; families stuck in unsafe buildings; homeowners forced to pay rip-off charges to faceless management companies — the steady drumbeat of leasehold scandal stories is alarming if, like me, you are planning to buy a flat" ✍️ @conor_sullivan

Out of all the blocks I have ever covered, this has to be the worst.
After months investigating what went wrong for leaseholders from extortionate charges to multiple fire safety issues, this piece highlighted why leasehold reform is needed so urgently https://t.co/NOJUy3bAFi

🗣️ Campaign group @EOCS_Official pointed out that the BSR had already said remediation of dangerous cladding on high-rise buildings will be completed or underway by April 2026.
@uklabour's plan is underwhelming - and not what it promised in Opposition.

I’m gutted, where is the hope?! No mention of support for buildings below 11m. No protection from costs that I cannot afford. I can’t afford to live in the home I own. I wonder what will come first for me? Loosing my home to a fire or bankruptcy. @AngelaRayner
📢 @UKLabour has announced its Cladding Remediation Acceleration Plan.
The "plan" looks extremely disappointing. Innocent leaseholders and residents across the country need and deserve much more.

A resident who moved out of Cardinal Lofts at the start of the year has revealed he is currently having therapy to help him get over the stress he was under while being a homeowner at the evacuated building.

Portland House leaseholder requests tribunal after £441,000 bill for new safety measures.
She feared she would be made homeless because of her inability to pay the bill.
