Let's be clear, the broken promise is from the council. No amount of money will change the failures of the refurbishment until there is a change of management. @RBKC @mhclg @josephpowell @SteveReedMP youtu.be/hdOJsx6zvhc

BREAKING: 🇬🇧 🇮🇱 The STUPIDEST False flag in history… You need to know the REAL story behind the burning of the Jewish ambulances. It’s hilariously bad: 1. An “Iranian Terror group” set ablaze to out of commission Jewish ambulances (don’t ask why they even exist in England) 2. The ambulances were replaced by the English taxpayer with brand new ones, they also get the insurance money, and they’ve also. raised £1.4 MILLION. Larry Silverstein levels of “luck” 3. Now get this…This definitely-not-Mossad group DOESN’T recognize the Gaza genocide, they refer to it as a "war" 4. They also refer to Palestine as the “the Land of Israel” instead of “the Zionist entity” making it the first group of this kind in the history to recognize Israel... 5. The group also uses the Zionist/Hebrew term for immigration which is “Aliyah” עליה 6. And this definitely-not-Mossad group also uses Arabic. As if someone forgot that Iranians speak Persian, not Arabic.. This is truly one of the most pathetic false flags in history. And never forget. Zionists have a long and proven history of committing antisemitic flase flags worldwide.

A British court has heard evidence that the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) “misled” its audience during the Israeli war on the Gaza Strip. The evidence was presented as part of documents in a case being heard by a UK employment tribunal, in which five journalists of Arab origin accuse the BBC of discrimination and of unfairly dismissing four of them for refusing what they described as racist and discriminatory practices within BBC Arabic service. The five complainants are Ahmed Rouaba, of Algerian origin; Dima Odeh, of Syrian origin; Nahed Najar, of Palestinian origin; and Mohamed El-Ashiry and Amer Sultan, both of Egyptian origin. The claimants are represented in the case by John Barnes from Albertson Solicitors. This is the first case of its kind brought by this number of journalists from the Arabic of the BBC Service of World Service against the long-standing news corporation. Veteran journalist Amer Sultan, who is of Egyptian origin and one of the five claimants, accused BBC management of unfair dismissal. He said this was partly due to his reporting of what he described as “serious breaches” of the BBC editorial guidelines in the early weeks of the Israeli war on Gaza, which began on 7th October 2023. During last court session, it was revealed that Sultan—who worked for 17 years on the BBC’s Arabic website and television—had reported examples of breaches of the Guidelines to BBC World Service management. According to case documents, Liliane Landor, the former director of the World Service, held what were described as “listening sessions” to understand what went wrong and to discuss the reasons behind mistakes made by the BBC at the start of the war. These mistakes had sparked widespread criticism among BBC journalists and in political and media circles in Britain and the Middle East. middleeastmonitor.com/20260322-bbc-i…

In August 2021, the Torre dei Moro fire in Milan tore up the side of the building in minutes—driven by ACM PE cladding. The same deadly material used on Grenfell Tower. No lives lost. But homeowners were displaced and lost everything.

Paul, why ignore the collapse in demand for what developers have been peddling? Sellers need buyers. People do not want flats anymore because they’ve woken up to the extractive legal structure of leasehold underpinning this type of home. 96% of new-builds in London are flats…

What is the point of keeping water privatised? This was the question Labour MP Barry Gardiner put to Emma Reynolds, the secretary of state for environment, food and rural affairs. However, when Reynolds said nationalising water would "cost an enormous amount of money", she was quizzed on where her figures were coming from. According to Gardiner, the Labour government has simply refused to do the maths.

Exclusive from @breeallegretti Angela Rayner has privately criticised the OBR and suggested that Labour has 'over-corrected' in the wake of the Tories In a private call with City investors organised by BNP Paribas she said that the official forecaster had failed to recognise the benefits of increased public spending Rayner attacked the scoring methodology used by the OBR, which measures the expected cost and growth gains of government policies to calculate the amount of fiscal headroom, based on the chancellor’s rules She said that the government's drive to build more social housing was considered a cost without any recognition of the social benefits She argued that the OBR is 'preventing' the government from greater public spending because it 'doesn't account for the returns' properly Expect this to be a growing fault line as the elections in May approach thetimes.com/uk/politics/ar…

V interesting response from @AndyBurnhamGM this morning to Angela Rayner’s stark warning the Labour government is “running out of time”… “I certainly know where she is coming from and the party would always do well to listen to what Angela has got to say.”

Since @Ofcom seems to have given up, we asked 20 experienced journalist from a wide range of backgrounds to watch multiple hours of @GBNEWS . Their conclusion: the supposedly regulated channel has, in effect, become Reform TV. How did it happen? thenewworld.co.uk/alan-rusbridge…

The council are still claiming the estate will be a '21st model estate' a meaningless slogan. Nearly 9 years later it is in a far worse state than it ever was. They have ignored the their own scrutiny findings and now are £££ short. Time for change

As Parliament is about to debate the Grenfell Memorial Expenditure Bill this evening, we continue to demand accountability and transparency about how these relics were destroyed despite the Ministerial undertakings. Who knew what and when. #thismemorialisnotforus "Nothing about us without us". The memorial is for those who died. Not for contracts. "Do not turn tragedies into opportunities for profiteering in the future. This is an insult and disrespect to those whose horrendous end is used for gain." next of kin of deceased mother. @SteveReedMP @SamanthaDixonMP @AngelaRayner @josephpowell @NazShahBfd @DawnButlerBrent @Telegraph @ObserverUK @thejohnsimpson @LBC lbc.co.uk/article/grenfe…
