The National Audit Office report says the government is not even on track for ensuring all homes will be safe by 2035. We have been failed by successive governments and are now expected to live in unsafe homes for decades.👇 #EndOurCladdingScandal itv.com/watch/news/more-than…

Our statement on the National Audit Office report into dangerous cladding 👇 The Labour government must now get a grip and take control of this living nightmare. The “merry-go-round of buck-passing” must end. #EndOurCladdingScandal #NotJustCladding

✍️ "Even the headline numbers do not include the other major problems – non-cladding issues and arguments over who pays for them, buildings’ insurance, mortgageability – that residents of affected buildings have faced." #NotJustCladding insidehousing.co.uk/comment/…

💔 The news of Amanda Walker's death is absolutely devastating. Our hearts go out to her family and friends.
Within months of telling parliament how her home left her in a financial and emotional black hole, Amanda Walker was dead. Her parents are telling her story ⬇️

Have a first tier tribunal hearing for remediation order under building safety act. Has anyone had any experience/tips?. Has anyone done it without solicitors? @EOCS_Official @ukcag #EndOurCladdingScandal

We are sorry to see this. @MikeAmesburyMP has supported our cause passionately since day 1 and we hoped he would have the building safety brief at @mhclg We are ready to work with @UKLabour to #EndOurCladdingScandal First, we must thank our friend Mike for all he has done ♥️
Surprised (former) shadow building safety minister Mike Amesbury didn't make the post-election ministerial line up. As I understand it, he'd been doing a lot of work to get a post-election plan ready, so must have been a last minute change

❌ "Work is complete on 6% of the buildings reported as having a life-critical fire safety defect" 🚨 The survey excludes many affected buildings. 🤔 @AngelaRayner How does the Government plan to monitor progress on building safety remediation?
We have published our latest fire safety remediation report. The publications includes findings from the 2023-24 Quarter 4 survey on 11 metre plus buildings. gov.uk/government/publicatio…

“Fun fact” flat prices in London now are lower now than in 2017 What happened in 2017 that might have contributed to this I wonder @Zoopla ? 🤔🫡 #grenfell #cladding #BuildingSafetyCrisis

📻 ICYMI: Earlier this week we spoke to @LBCNews about the fire in Elm Road, Wembley. Lengthy wrangling over remediation funding is still being prioritised over the safety of residents. The scale of work still needed is enormous 👇 #EndOurCladdingScandal youtu.be/g_OH25-O2AI?feature…

After my story on Rydon yesterday, have had a few ppl asking me for the link to the gov data which shows the number of blocks developers need to fix. It can all be found here👇 There is a spreadsheet (4th link) which breaks it down developer-by-developer gov.uk/government/publicatio…

The EWS1 form "was supposed to end uncertainty caused by the publication of a government advice note that said buildings must contain no combustible materials or have their build up demonstrated as safe (...) The process proved disastrous" insidehousing.co.uk/news/two…

Replying to @HSBC_UK
@HSBC_UK – why have you rejected my mortgage application? In January you committed to lend to #leaseholders impacted by the #claddingcrisis. You approved my application on 23rd June subject to a professional valuation. 1/5

I am one of those first-time buyers @RishiSunak. Now I'm trapped in the #BuildingSafetyCrisis with an unsellable unmortgageable shared ownership flat, facing escalating service charges. Get a grip.
Replying to @RishiSunak
On Monday, I laid out plans to build more homes where it makes sense whilst protecting the countryside. @Conservatives have delivered 2.2 million more homes and supported 770,000 first-time buyers. Now we're going even further - building one million more homes this Parliament.

We urge ALL leaseholders affected by the #BuildingSafetyCrisis to reply to Mr Sunak's tweet. We worked hard to fulfil our dream of home ownership. He destroyed our achievements, finances,stability &future by calling us the"usual sources of funding"to fix govt& industry negligence
Home ownership is a dream everyone aspires to, and getting the keys to your first place is a special feeling. But for too many people, the dream of home ownership feels just like that – a dream. This week I set about changing that 🧵👇
