Yesterday I met with @AngelaRayner, @FloEshalomi, @_judithblake and others to discuss the unfinished business of the building safety crisis. There's so much left to do to ensure all leaseholders are freed from the hell we're all living through. More to follow @EOCS_Official

MHCLG’s dashboard shows which developers missed the 80% target – and by how much.
But there is still no clarity on what consequences they will face.

Nearly 10 years after Grenfell, why is Government still debating how much fire risk residents should tolerate?
Leaving flammable cladding in place and non-cladding defects unresolved will not end this crisis.
Is it too much to ask that homes are made fully safe and sellable?
Residents fear new rules could mean dangerous cladding is left on blocks of flats bbc.in/4hUIYBx

When you're years into a battle with your freeholder to fix your building it's easy to forget that getting 6 complicated letters in two days, including a 200 page dispensation notice on a Friday afternoon, isn't normal #leasehold #endourcladdingscandal

No listed developer met the target to start or complete work on 80% of buildings by July 2026.
@mhclg says, “failure to meet their contractual obligations risks enforcement action, including being prohibited from carrying out major development.”
But consequences there are none.
ALT Bar chart titled “Missing the Target” showing the percentage of buildings where remediation had started or completed by July 2026, against a government target of 80%. All eight listed developers missed the target. Berkeley Group and Crest Nicholson reached around 68%, Bellway 60%, Persimmon 59%, Vistry 51%, Taylor Wimpey 48%, Gleeson 40% and Barratt Redrow just 28%. Source: Gov.uk.

Reheating Help to Buy is a big risk in the current market, especially for anyone who uses it to buy a leasehold flat. It also ignores some of the key lessons of the last 10 years:

⬇️ Six years on, people across the country are still trapped in unsafe homes.
Still waiting for change.
Still waiting for hope.
@andyburnham @AngelaRayner
Today we relaunch the #EndOurCladdingScandal campaign and call on the government to follow these 10 steps to make this happen

More detail about the building in Poplar where a man died in a fire at the weekend:
- Building was fitted with combustible Hemsec insulated panels, which were non-compliant at the time of build (oddly described as 'inflammable' by the manufacturer)

There are still far too many buildings that are unsellable due to cladding works or the wider building safety scandal. Lives are at risk. @mhclg needs to find a way for leaseholders to be able to move on with their lives and ensure homes are safe.

📢 The Leaseholder Remediation (Building Safety) Bill has its Second Reading in @UKHouseofLords tomorrow.
This is a Private Members' Bill sponsored by @KathPinnock
Find out more at bills.parliament.uk/bills/41…
ALT Screenshot from the Bill papers. It shows black text on a white background and says: A BILL TO Make provision for the remediation of building safety defects in residential leasehold properties; to extend protections for qualifying leaseholders from the costs of historical building safety failures; to place enforceable duties on freeholders and building owners to initiate and complete remediation works within prescribed timeframes; to provide leaseholders with rights to seek mandatory remediation orders where responsible parties fail to act; and for connected purposes.

Meanwhile - leaseholders are trapped with their lives on pause. @mhclg need to find a way to let us move on. #endourcladdingscandal
Developers, builders, architects and material manufacturers are suing one another to recover vast sums spent to replace unsafe cladding and fix other problems exposed by the devastating Grenfell Tower fire nine years ago ft.trib.al/QpV6Hi3

Reflecting on some press from the past. In 2022 @Lees_Martina @thetimes questioned whether leaseholders might finally be released. How wrong we were! #buildingsafetycrisis #leaseholdreform

Two years ago (when my anxiety attacks whenever I spoke about the building safety crisis were absolutely awful) I spoke to @maitlis and long-time friend of the crisis @lewis_goodall on @TheNewsAgents. Still not enough change - Grenfell report largely ignored.

I feel we're in a bit of a void at the moment. No longer disappointed by the way the last housing bunch were dealing with the building safety crisis but not yet able to feel positive about what the future might hold. #endourcladdingscandal

Diana finds herself in desperate times as a non-qualifying leaseholder. It's a wretched and deeply unfair rule foisted on innocent people by the state. Do what's right @mtpennycook. Undo Tory rules, it's what we voted for.

How is it possible that I have been engaged, married, pregnant and grown a whole human who is now walking and talking and yet an accountant can't work out the sums for our building for the last 5 years 🫠 #endoircladdingscandal #leasehold
