Good News! The Court of Appeal has agreed that there's an arguable case, with a real prospect of success, that the High Court erred when it found that RBK was entitled to ignore the FTT's order and thus it couldn't be held in contempt. https://t.co/qErUrNzbIh
During the TV debate Ed Davey boasted about his wife getting new council homes built in Kingston and not letting developers take the lead.
In fact she's demolishing CRE, as the Tories planned, and the number of new social homes has been cut to protect the developer's profits.
This bunch of testosterone-fuelled & entitled lads are keen to demolish your council home. Britain Remade must be one of the least representative campaign groups in Britain. The only woman is an assistant. @LondonTenants@justspace7@KingstonDCH https://t.co/D5UOqy5cNx
I wrote a shortish piece on estate demolition. I look at the economics of demolition, managed decline, class dynamics, and dodgy ballots.
Give it a read if you get the chance 👇

@eCase4gov@ICOnews@FOIScotland@NADPO_Official@IRMSociety@CFoIScot@CampaignFoI We nominate Philip Coppel KC and John Fitzsimons of Cornerstone Barristers, who recently persuaded the High Court and the Court of Appeal to find that public authorities who breach FOIA can just ignore the FTT's orders if the requestor wins on appeal. https://t.co/YPBZ906sUt
FT (£) The £4.2bn Housing Infrastructure Fund was created in 2017 in an attempt to jump-start housebuilding by providing local authorities with grant funding for key infrastructure. However, just £1.3bn of the pot has been spent. https://t.co/zLW0PBn3EI via @ft

Absolutely gut wrenching stuff.
“About 1.2m households in England are on a waiting list. In the decade to 22 there was a net loss of 165k social homes, as sales and demolitions outpaced new supply. 279,400 people are now stuck in temporary accommodation, according to Shelter”.
@KingstonNubNews If the Lib Dems want to save essential services they could look closer to home and stop wasting cash on vanity projects and employing ever more fat cats on £100k salaries.
I just signed the petition calling on Paula Vennells, the former CEO of the Post Office to be stripped of her CBE. Will you sign too? #MrBatesVSThePostOffice https://t.co/iHL5uCFs7u via @38degrees
This is wrong @HMCTSgovuk
There is an automatic entitlement to copies of judgments handed down in open court
We don’t have secret judgments in England!
Less than 10 years ago #Lambeth spent over £550M on a Decent Homes programme. Now they are telling us that over 1 in 5 homes isn't decent: https://t.co/iTZDtjTtLB
Tens if not hundreds of millions spent on sub-standard (or non existent) work

A small number of public authorities in Cambridgeshire need to do some extensive training for officers on the provisions and application of the Fraud Act 2006.
@FewsLane Kingston Council also has officers who have done this, and committed perjury by lying under oath. Their barristers also made false representations in the Court of Appeal recently, causing it to dismiss our appeal and order us to pay their fees of £32,000.
22% of Council stock managed by Lambeth fails to meet the Decent Homes Standard https://t.co/Legcg4wgWC "A new ‘Citizen Portal’ is set to launch. This will help residents report issues across all Council services. We hope that the tech team has bought up sufficient bandwidth"
Thames Water wants to increase customer bills by 40% before inflation by 2030.
Thames has handed billions in dividends to shareholders, picked customer pockets.
Now want 40% price rise in real terms.
NOT acceptable.
Let Thames go bust. Nationalise it.

Did you know the Tories intend to surveil the bank accounts of up to 22m people receiving benefits, without consent, warning or reason?
The Tory war on the poor now includes spying. They say it’ll save £100m, meanwhile Sunak writes off £16bn in covid fraud.
Know your enemy.
