@McrCladiators @SteveReedMP @10DowningStreet @mtpennycook We need to force a government u-turn. It's still not enough so the campaign goes on! #EndOurCladdingScandal x.com/i/status/11286…

Labour are still sweeping building safety risks under the carpet to protect industry, while residents remain trapped in unsafe, unsellable homes. They promised a government-backed reinsurance scheme in opposition but have yet to deliver. insidehousing.co.uk/news/redraft-o…

@SteveReedMP As a leaseholder I still see no protections - despite all the building safety ministers saying they exist. Suggest you visit Brum to talk to @RichParkerLab to find actual truth and get leaseholders protected!!! @BrumLag @IslingtonGates

Keir led our party to victory and won a mandate for change. Waiting lists are falling, wages are rising, new rights for renters and leaseholders. We need to stay the course and deliver the change this country voted for.

Promises made, promises not kept. Our update on the building safety crisis: where we are, and what @UKLabour still needs to change ⬇️ endourcladdingscandal.org/posts/campaign…

@EOCS_Official @SamCoatesSky Thanks to @eocs for standing up for ALL leaseholdings affected by the building scandal Freeholders, superior leaseholders, developers, contractors have done their utmost to wiggle out of any liability- leaving innocent leaseholders to pay TIME FOR MINISTERS TO LISTEN TO INNOCENTS

Absolute cobblers, as always, from the RFA. 1. Freeholders, particularly RFA members, have blocked remediation for years. 2. Freeholder insolvency would have limited impact on remediation – it would likely speed up the whole process. 3. Statutory duties under the BSA 2022 are paid for by leaseholders via service charge. 4. Removing ground rent would have no impact on entering into Grant Funding Agreements. 5. The threats of insolvency are overblown – freeholder groups in the RFA are well capitalised and will do all they can not to give up their assets. Don’t fall for it @SteveReedMP

Big announcement from government today - Keir Starmer sides with Angela Rayner over freezing ground rent But this is a MASSIVE issue for professional landlords and investors - gvt essentially playing chicken with money men. Treasury was worried. Are the investors crying wolf? Or will there be a big problems with building safety projects and investor stability? Guess we will find out when announcement comes later today

@SamCoatesSky Read with incredulity NCs letter. As a director of Wallace she callously sold the superior leasehold of our development to an offshore buyer. Neither party is willing to accept legal liability! RFA worried about Insolvency- what about innocent leaseholders!! What about NQLs?

⁉️BALANCED⁉️ We have evidenced the minister with many case studies of innocent LH’s lives in tatters. #nonqualifyingLH not privy to affordability tests as are freeholders and unable to sell in perpetuity with lenders and solicitors not accepting Non Qualifying status.

Will there be meaningful change on the key issues of non-cladding defects, non-qualifying leaseholders, extortionate buildings insurance or shared ownership buybacks in 2026? We aren’t holding our breath. #BuildingSafetyCrisis @mhclg

1️⃣ year today since the "Remediation Acceleration Plan" announcement. The only "change" leaseholders have seen is a new Housing Secretary and Minister for Building Safety. @mhclg are still dragging their feet. @UKLabour are still far from keeping their manifesto promises.

Today is 5️⃣ years since our relaunch. There has been some progress but it has been far too slow. ... And there's still much more to do for all leaseholders and residents to be safe and feel safe in their home. Over to you @SteveReedMP @SamanthaDixonMP

It is also unclear how buildings below 18 metres will be made safe if the BSR remains focused on a subset of the thousands of unsafe buildings across the country. Sadly, the piecemeal approach to people being and feeling safe in their homes looks set to continue. 5/5

The focus on cladding and only life-critical safety risks remains a huge concern and there is still little consideration of resident-managed buildings, where remediation is often reliant on a developer and/or freeholder. 4/n

In recent years, we have seen an increasing number of buildings where enforcement has led directly to people being kicked out of their homes, or their being forced to pay thousands of pounds for a waking watch to avoid this. 3/n

However, as always, questions remain, particularly in terms of what enforcement will actually look like on the ground and the harm this will cause leaseholders and residents. 2/n

After the debacle of costs for compliance being marketed by govt & the HSE as a cost to industry, when leaseholders were, and still are, clearly on the hook, it is a step forward to see that leaseholders will not be forced to pay for the Remediation Enforcement Unit itself. 1/n

Welcome to @SamanthaDixonMP, the new Minister for Building Safety, Fire & Democracy. Government must act to end the building safety crisis and protect all leaseholders. We look forward to meeting you soon. gov.uk/government/min…

Our statement on the reshuffle 👇🏼 We still need to see real leadership from @UKLabour so their manifesto promises on building safety have a chance of being kept.

📢 @CommonsHCLG is to examine the work of the Building Safety Regulator. This will review "balancing robust safety measures with the need to build more housing." Hopefully, they won't forget innocent leaseholders waiting for their homes to be made safe. committees.parliament.uk/event/24913/fo…

🗨️ " I can't afford to live here and I can't sell" ❗ Some lenders are still not willing to offer mortgages to buyers, even where a remediation plan is in place. ❗ @AlexJJNorris what are you going to do to fix this crisis? bbc.com/news/articles/…

Wait till you hear about the unsellable, unmortgageable flats sitting empty in blocks all over the country.
