The govt deliberately hid tests it commissioned pre #Grenfell that showed #cladding was dangerous & flammable.

The govt then engaged in deceit & cover-up post Grenfell.

It is now time for the govt to pay a hefty compensation to ALL its victims of the #BuildingSafetyCrisis.

[Tom Symonds @BBCTomSymonds]

The chain of cover-ups that led to Grenfell - UnHerd. ⁦@PeteApps⁩ whose book is excellent. Points out here the attempts by government POST Grenfell to claim the cladding on the building had been ‘banned’. Proven not true by the ban later announced https://t.co/kBFNGPRvnj

Why half of London's small flats sell at a loss as the crash spreads https://t.co/SIQ6tlDxHZ

[UK Cladding Action Group @ukcag]

This is the direct result of @UKLabour incompetence & @mhclg's shady practices as they continue to cover up their role in creating the #BuildingSafetyCrisis.
As demand falls, prices plummet & rogue developers build no more, @SteveReedMP & @SamanthaDixonMP might finally wake up?

Wrong of @Uma_Kumaran to spread this misinformation & prevent replies.
The Labour govt has done nothing to protect innocent leaseholders trapped for 9 yrs in the #BuildingSafetyCrisis. Instead their policies have protected developers & freeholders while harming their victims.

[Uma Kumaran MP @Uma_Kumaran]

Thousands of people across Stratford and Bow are suffering the consequences of the building safety crisis, through no fault of their own. The distress and impact to their lives cannot be underestimated.

The blame lies with bad developers and negligent landlords, who have acted with impunity for years.

Not anymore. This Labour Government is coming for you.

Today the scaffolding started going up for our cladding remediation. 5 years after we submitted to the Building Safety Fund and 18 months after submitting to the Building Safety Regulator. My son wasn't born when we first submitted and now he's at school. @EOCS_Official @ukcag

[Glenn Seaton @GlennSeat]

As absurd as it is, council building inspectors can't be made accountable for missing fire breaks. That is the law as it stands. Whatever is missed, responsibility falls on the builder. But builders use SPVs and fold to avoid the legal net. Leaseholders get screwed.

[UK Cladding Action Group @ukcag]

Maybe @HomeBuildersFed members should have thought of this BEFORE they built hundreds of thousands of homes with NO fire breaks & then sold them as safe to innocent people for huge profits.

[Home Builders Federation @HomeBuildersFed]

Home building is becoming increasingly unviable across many parts of England and Wales.
Rising policy, taxation, and regulatory pressures mean build costs have risen by on average around £76,000 per home since 2020.

At the same time, demand-side constraints and ongoing barriers - including planning delays - are compounding the challenge.

The risks associated with building today have seen SME numbers dwindle, planning applications plummet, and housing delivery nose-dive, with just 208,000 new homes completed in 2024/25 - down 16% from the 2020 peak.

Policymakers must give serious consideration to the real-world cumulative impact of layered regulation on housing delivery.

For too long, the industry has been treated as an easy target for additional taxation and policy burdens - but there is a limit to how much private businesses can absorb.

That’s why we are calling for a moratorium on any new policy costs, taxes, and levies affecting home building, while a full review of cumulative regulatory impacts is undertaken.

[UK Cladding Action Group @ukcag]

It's this attitude from @tomcopley & @MayorofLondon that has led to 1000s of innocent #Londoners trapped in dangerous flats for 9 yrs. While the Mayor supports & further grows the enormous profits of the rogue developers that built these unsellable, unmortgageable death traps.

[Tom Copley @tomcopley]

We’re determined to use all levers at our disposal to get more homes built.

The @MayorofLondon’s next London Plan will be streamlined - half the length of the current Plan.

City Hall will also be more interventionist on calling-in planning applications. https://t.co/aOZsI37TYO

Developers pour £££ into politics to keep the system working for their profits.

And while their money tries to silence local democracy, the housing crisis goes unsolved.

Sign my petition to kick developer cash out of politics. 👇

[Chris Hinchliff MP @CHinchliffMP]

Speaking of YIMBYism, I wrote to Steve Reed after developers paid £2,000 a head for curry night seats.

Homeless kids can’t pay to be within whispering distance of his ear.

That’s how inequality gets baked into our democracy. Deep pockets = more access.

Ban developer donations.

Labour has admitted that the draft Commonhold and Leasehold Reform Bill – which aims to give leaseholders the right to buy the freehold of their estate – does not currently allow them to remove managing agents who are named in the deeds.

This is a disgrace!

"Rafael was billed £893.83 in service charges ... The next time he received his quarterly service charge in April 2020, it had jumped to £3,984.97."

[End Our Cladding Scandal @EOCS_Official]

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.

[Sophie @SophieLB1]

Cladding mentioned in the King's Speech... Will give a lot of people hope... Reality on the ground is most will stay stuck for some time to come #EndOurCladdingScandal

[MrCladding @MrCladding]

NOT GOOD ENOUGH. THIS IS A ‘RESET’ OF THE MANIFESTO COMMITMENTS. THIS IS NOT WHY I VOTED LABOUR IN THE LAST GE.

“Leasehold reforms designed to give homeowners greater rights and control over their properties.”

ABOLISH LEASEHOLD.

🙏@lizziecmurphy for your support.

Rosalyne, 76, bought 3 flats 25 yrs ago to top up pension pot.
‼️No cladding

"It's stalling the first time buyer market.
My flats now …. unsaleable, how is that helping get people onto the propety ladder?"

Remediation Bill legislation finally announced in today’s King’s Speech.

As feared, it’s CRAP ⬇️

[Grenfell United @GrenfellUnited]

We remember our loved ones today and every day. Next month is the last anniversary with any part of Grenfell Tower remaining. Join us in solidarity to remember those we lost, and demand Justice for the 72 💚

[NLC - KATIE KENDRICK OBE - LEASEHOLD CAMPAIGNER @NLC_2019]

@AngelaRayner What you are doing for leaseholders is certainly not working.

Leaseholders are not feeling any change. Our govrnment MUST read the room or they will be out the door !!
