📆 This Friday at 12pm We’re joining journalist @PeteApps for a live Substack chat on the building safety crisis. We’ll discuss what’s going wrong and how Labour could fix it. 🔗 Link and how to join in the reply.

We joined leaseholders, policymakers and sector experts at a recent LEASE event to discuss the ongoing building safety crisis. From remediation delays to the reality facing residents still trapped in unsafe homes, here are the key takeaways. 👇 endourcladdingscandal.org/posts/lease-bu…

@EOCS_Official How in the name of all that is holy can this be right - the tragedy at Grenfell was beyond awful yet no charges - many many more leaseholder may lose their lives ( stress /suicide) as a result of the new industry of fire safety works where everyone dips In the leaseholders pocket

@EOCS_Official It’s outrageous. Yet here we are. @UKLabour ministers such as @SteveReedMP and @SamanthaDixonMP are now content to continue policies they criticised in opposition, leaving victims of the building safety crisis to pay the price.

Four leaseholders told to pay £9,400 a year for fire safety works. 🗨️ “We just can’t afford to pay that” Housing association Hastoe says: “There is no government funding for these works on blocks under 11m.” Leaseholders left to pick up the bill. ❌ lutontoday.co.uk/news/people/we…

Today marks 105 months since the Grenfell fire — a tragedy that showed what happens when profit is put before people. Dirty Business on C4 is a stark reminder that systems allowing dangerous shortcuts and weak oversight cost lives. Remember Grenfell. Demand accountability.

Nearly 8 months since @UKLabour promised funding for buildings under 11m. Details due last September. Still missing. ⏳ Meanwhile leaseholders in “low-rise” blocks are getting life-changing bills for problems they didn’t cause. History repeating itself. Change? What change?

Housing Secretary @SteveReedMP still focused on ACM cladding stats. Government says it’s “working tirelessly"... We’ve heard the same warm words for years. Meanwhile, the real change leaseholders and residents need still feels a very long way off ❌️

🆘 Innocent LH’s Crowe Road, Bedford u11m - non relevant building in BSA22‼️ 🆘 #NonqualifyingLH no protections from fire safety costs ⚖️@SteveReedMP @SamanthaDixonMP @YasinForBedford bedfordtoday.co.uk/business/consu…

@EOCS_Official @SteveReedMP The building safety crisis is far from over. Saw on Reddit a leaseholder who bought her NEWBUILD flat in 2022, after the BSA came into force. It had a compliant EWS1 with A2 grading - that expired in 2025. Now she can't sell because she is a @NonQualifyingLH. See the problem?

🙏 @YasinForBedford for highlighting issues and raising questions to @SteveReedMP today “Too many are trapped paying for defects caused by poor construction” #NonqualifyingLH victims forced to pay for mistakes of successive gov & industry‼️ 📺 Watch facebook.com/share/v/1BXyFg…

Today as people spend time with their loved ones, as always we remember ours who were taken from us. 104 months on, and still no Justice for those lost at Grenfell. Alongside the red hearts you’ll see today, please take a moment to remember the significance of our green one💚

@GrenfellUnited Absolutely 💚 It’s important we remember what it stands for. We will never give up our support in fight for ⚖️.

@BBCRadioKent @ladytofglencoe Daylight robbery of leaseholders @SteveReedMP stop these abuses.

6/6 Housing is stalling. Lenders and conveyancers don’t have confidence. Non-qualifying leases are leading to refusals to act‼️ EWS1 is still causing havoc — across all heights, especially buildings under 11m as U11m have no protections‼️
