UK bank bailout in 2008 was £500 billion. Why not spend 3% of that amount (£15 billion) to protect people stuck in dangerous homes?

My daughter has just received her latest service charge on her 2 bedroom flat in Leeds Dock. WTAF. This is completely and utterly ridiculous. #EndOurCladdingScandal

@IMedneglawyer @SophieLB1@EOCS_Official Someone tweeted about Nova House in Slough this morning. The cost for remediation + other fire safety stuff is now £17.8m, that is £265,000 per flat. More or less the cost of the flats when the l/holders bought. BSF has generously granted £7.7m. As for the rest …..
The rebellion over planning reflects growing anger over the power of the big builders, cladding scandal & more. The housing ladder has become a trap, but is No10 blind to the implications of this market failure?
Cover of the new Spectator, out tomorrow.
'A full Competition and Market Authority inquiry into UK housebuilders is long overdue. Powerful vested interests benefit mightily from this high-price, low-build-quality gridlock. They make political donations to protect the status quo.'

All leaseholders are living in a cartel. The centre of political gravity is now really moving in the consumer direction when it comes to the cladding, building safety and leasehold scandals. Amazing! @LKPleasehold@NLC_2019@EOCS_Official@ukcag https://t.co/j919KGXdxW
@mhclg Just received an estimate of £202k per flat to remediate our building. Almost the same price I bought the flat for. Lost for words.. I’m drowning and no one is helping. I’m innocent but condemn… #EndOurCladdingScandal#BuildingSafetyCrisis
Four years after Grenfell, many tower blocks are still covered in lethal cladding
Now, flat owners are receiving the final bills to make the buildings safe — and discovering the costs often exceed the value of their homes

A big investigation from @Lees_Martina and me
into a really important issue affecting thousands of people up and down the country:
‘Footing the bill for the cladding crisis will cost more than my flat’

@mhclg @thesundaytimes This response is yet another attempt to gaslight the public & leaseholders. You keep saying you "don't recognise the numbers" because you don't have any numbers. Why are you deflecting to ACM when most buildings with B2 rating have HPL or other types... #EndOurCladdingScandal
Ella Harris is 4. Her father has a £100k bill to fix their block - more than he paid for their flat. We've spend the past month finding the real faces and numbers of building safety scandal, on @thesundaytimes front page tomorrow https://t.co/RD5qo1Xsoe
🚨 FRONT PAGE NEWS 🚨
Four years after Grenfell, tower blocks are still covered in lethal cladding. Flat owners are now receiving bills to make the buildings safe & discovering to their horror that they exceed the value of their homes.
Thank you @Lees_Martina@HannahAlOthman
I haven't been able to focus & function this week. I run my own business but struggling because of the #BuildingSafetyCrisis occuping my thoughts all day. Everything feels pointless when gov takes everything you've worked towards away from you in an instant #EndOurCladdingScandal
TONIGHT: As the cladding crisis continues, we report on how flammable insulation is making some buildings too expensive to insure and spiralling costs for leaseholders.
Conservative MP and chair of the APPG on leasehold reform @PBottomleyMP joins us at 22:45
#Newsnight
Found out today the walls of my building are filled with polystyrene, which is highly flammable, as well as the cladding, missing cavity barriers and timber balcony. Angry beyond words that developers are getting away with this! #BuildingSafetyCrisis#endourcladdingscandal
'I want children but I don't want to raise them in the apartment as it is.'
So many lives are blighted by this disgraceful scandal. Lives on hold. Plans on hold or ruined.
@mhclg@GOVUK this isn't going away.

Currently looking at £90,000 remediation (pre VAT) for ews1 issues. Cannot face bankruptcy due to civil service employment. Affordable? No! Fair? Even less… @RobertJenrick#EndOurCladdingScandal
