@LucyGoBag Perhaps the comms team are somewhat distracted in Liverpool 🍻

@stuartbruce Because the @UKLabour manifesto promised 1.5m ‘new’ homes not to make the process of buying ‘all’ homes more functional/affordable. The only way to deliver the number (zero chance) is to encourage the volume builders.

@LucyGoBag Use your torch to boil your kettle and have a nice cup of tea. 🫖

@BlanchardTweets thank you.

[Matt Hodges-Long @MattHodgesLong]

Hello @GOVUK really don’t need 3 emergency alerts! Thx

[Matt Hodges-Long @MattHodgesLong]

@LucyGoBag 2026 not 1726. Just checking.

[Matt Hodges-Long @MattHodgesLong]

@dannybster We got a significant loosening of the post Grenfell building safety regime today. Funnily enough not mentioned in @SteveReedMP video.

[Matt Hodges-Long @MattHodgesLong]

@johnsweeneyroar Timing is everything 👍

[Matt Hodges-Long @MattHodgesLong]

He won’t get the opportunity to build an affordable home. Perhaps next time @CountBinface

[Mark Coughlan @Mark_Coughlan]

Everything about this is fantastic.

[Matt Hodges-Long @MattHodgesLong]

@dannybster @johncrickett Never! Wouldn’t trust myself and I have developers to do it.

[Matt Hodges-Long @MattHodgesLong]

@slightlymad1 Yep. Emergency broadcast I guess.

[Matt Hodges-Long @MattHodgesLong]

LBC has just gone off air on the player. Hope all is ok.

[Matt Hodges-Long @MattHodgesLong]

@sheffieldtrib Blocks of this height are close to unregulated and are only unsafe in exceptional circumstances (according to @mhclg) both positions indefensible. @SamanthaDixonMP

[Matt Hodges-Long @MattHodgesLong]

@lewis_goodall @LBC Thoroughly deserved 👍

[Matt Hodges-Long @MattHodgesLong]

@housing_today @SimonDudleyUK We definitely need to discuss the effectiveness of post Grenfell regulatory reforms and the new regulator but not in the crass and reductive manner of Mr Dudley. Pleased to see he has been relieved of his duties.

[Matt Hodges-Long @MattHodgesLong]

Gone! - we definitely need to discuss the effectiveness of post Grenfell regulatory reforms and the new regulator but not in the crass and reductive manner of Mr Dudley.

@Victoria_Spratt @WelshCladiators @theipaper Looks more shit than exclusive.

[Matt Hodges-Long @MattHodgesLong]

Our political system needs to professionalise. Urgently.

[Matt Hodges-Long @MattHodgesLong]

Just caught up with yesterdays @mhclg select committee where @michaelgove and @AngelaRayner gave a masterclass in their joint lack of understanding of multi occupancy residential property management/investment. 10/10 for playing to the crowd.

[Matt Hodges-Long @MattHodgesLong]

The ex Ministers rhetoric was long on bluster ‘money for nothing’ ‘vested interests’ but exceptionally short on technical detail. The committee were similarly amateur in their questioning.
