So many text messages "Does that Gove announcement help you then?"

Imagine if the BBC charged @michaelgove the full cost for fixing their broken lift, even though he doesn't own it, he was just using it for a short time. (1/5)
Pulling together all the connections between leaseholders in our block and voters in #NorthShropshire . All those old uni mates and extended family members are in shock when we tell them how we are affected by the #CladdingScandal@@ @ . .
@michaelgove these are daily realities for thousands of people. We’ve been waiting long enough for a resolution, for so many it’s already too late. Please act faster. #EndOurCladdingScandal
Key points from @housingevidence report into #MentalWellbeing & the #BuildingSafetyCrisis🧵
TLDR: Widespread impacts on mental health, relationships, life transitions, & identity. Financial stress & loss of autonomy key drivers of negative impacts

Building safety crisis campaigners protest in Parliament, urging the Government to make homes safe.
More than 4 years after the Grenfell fire, a million people are still at risk, and face financial ruin struggling to pay their spiralling building costs.
@RagsMartel reports
Two incredibly brave women who spoke up about just how this #FireSafetyScandal has already taken from them: their savings, their mental health, their physical health. We can’t let their last shred of hope be next. #LeaseholdersTogether#EndOurFireSafetyScandal
Imagine receiving a bill for £208k when your flat is worth £230k
Imagine using your retirement funds to buy a flat and then finding out it is worth £0
Imagine facing bankruptcy because you’re being held responsible for dodgy developers cutting corners

Update from the cladding/leasehold protest today
I told this couple their banner was probably the most important one there

"The #FireSafety Scandal has shone a spotlight on just the most extreme example of injustices facing leaseholders ..."
Thank you Lord Newby 🙏

Shadow SoS for Housing Lucy Powell:
"I won't rest until we get justice for leaseholders so that you don't have to pay the costs of things that were no fault of your own, so we can get reform for leaseholders"
Thank you @LucyMPowell 🙏
