Grenfell was the product of a broken and dangerous ideology that took hold at the heart of government for over a decade: deregulation. It's time to draw a line under it. New timeline from Unchecked UK looks at the initiatives that got us to this point. open.substack.com/pub/unchecked/…

What a pairing of headline and picture.

@JoePBanks @stillawake @Glutenfreescone No I never heard back from them in the end and I didn't submit an FOI

@stillawake @Glutenfreescone “The Cable has asked the council why the details of the deal with L&G haven’t been published, how community concerns will genuinely form part of the regeneration plans, and whether there are any conditions around the future sale of Temple Island.” Did you get a reply @Max_R0che?

How much was the land at Temple Island sold for so that L&G could build their housing? How about the land for the mayor’s boxing club? Both for £0, wasn’t it?

@sammorganmoore @TheBristolCable Hi Sam, I did approach BCC for comment and gave them ample time to reply but I didn't hear back. I also approached L&G who did reply by sending over a recent press release they put out along, with a few additional comments. Some of that information is included in the article.

@Max_R0che @TheBristolCable Normal reporting would approach for quotes from all parties?

Can't believe she'd park there. Oh also, climate catastrophe is imminent.
