Thank you @insidehousing @Grainne_Cuffe for thoughtful, in-depth reporting of #HallamCourt #Croydon fire. Grateful that residents’ voices about the realities of the #BuildingSafetyCrisis are being heard.

Thank you Councillor Islam for speaking for #Selhurst residents. The litter and fly-tipping are ruining our neighbourhood, and the council must take action. #CleanUpSelhurst

[Cllr Mohammed Islam @MohammedIslam_1]

Mayor Perry has neglected Selhurst Ward for far too long. Fly-tipping and litter are out of control, while residents' pleas for action go ignored. It's time for real leadership, not empty promises.

@Roblox I’ve asked several times for your complaints procedure and it hasn’t been shared by your customer services team. My latest email was ignored. Please can you share it with me?

New report from @PoliceChiefs estimates there were 2.3m perpetrators of #VAWG in the last year - and that they are becoming younger. The new govt wants to halve this number in 10 years - more robust data and evidence will be key to getting this right. https://t.co/zAiml5QQIh

[Jo Todd @JoTodd4]

It is such an exciting time for @RespectUK. We have an ambitious strategy & big plans for the next 5 years, plus the prospect of a new government to hold to account. Getting the right person to be our Fundraising Manager could make all the difference! Please share widely ⭐️

This 👇 Really important, not often considered, aspect of school. Lack of green space in state schools, especially in urban areas where flat-dwelling families don’t have gardens either. https://t.co/zh6qTnjPAp

Never forgotten ❤️ #moreincommon

[The Jo Cox Foundation @JoCoxFoundation]

Eight years ago today, on 16 June 2016, Jo Cox was tragically murdered while on her way to a constituency surgery in Batley and Spen.

In the days that followed, the global wave of grief and solidarity demonstrated that her values were widely shared.

[Grenfell Tower Memorial Commission @GrenfellTowerMC]

On this 7th year anniversary of the Grenfell Tower fire, the Memorial Commission representatives and members of the #Grenfell community reflect on the importance of preserving the spontaneous messages and other expressions of loss, grief and anguish, left since the tragedy.

[Dame Nicole Jacobs @CommissionerDA]

This election it's important that victims and survivors of #DomesticAbuse are heard.

[Grenfell United @GrenfellUnited]

Nearly 5 years on from the Grenfell Phase 1 Report and Government still haven’t implemented Personal Emergency Evacuation Plans. This is why it is so important:

"We will use every government tool available to target perpetrators and address the root causes of abuse and violence"

We're delighted to see a clear commitment to address perpetrators in the #LabourManifesto. This echoes our call for all parties to hold perpetrators to account.

@Clax_TN @DaMidgetZimbo Sorry that’s not me but he’s awesome!

@RH_residents @LondonCAG Yes the scaffolding is still up, they found multiple defects of cladding, balcony materials and insulation, and have spent the last year doing remedial works.

[Lee Webster @leepster]

A year ago today our home was on fire. A community traumatised - my family and neighbours still reliving incident and horrible days that followed. For the sake of people’s lives, the #cladding scandal needs urgent action. Residents can’t wait. #buildingsafetycrisis @LondonCAG

[ITV London @itvlondon]

Shocking fire safety failures SIX years after Grenfell.
Croydon flats go up in flames with combustible material, a “Stay Put” policy and no fire alarm.
And like in 2017, Hallam Court residents had safety concerns before the fire.
@RagsMartel reports

This 👇👇 I’ve been in need of NHS care recently, and a porter wheeled me to my appointment, advocated for me to be promptly seen, listened to my worries, and brought cheer to an otherwise pretty cheerless day. #ThankYouNHS #ThankYouPorters

[NHS Million @NHSMillion]

We will never get tired of sharing this

NHS porters rarely get a mention, but they are doing an absolutely heroic job right now to keep our hospitals moving

Please spare a RT for all of them

This is your reminder that the legal system was designed by men for men to protect men and not women. Especially if you are a wealthy white man. #MeToo
