    Update on freeholders’ judicial review against the Leasehold and Freehold Reform Act 2024. The hear by date has been extended to 23 April 2027. This means the hearing has not yet been listed, but is likely to take place before 23 April 2027. More details here:

    #bbcqt excusing Boris Johnson’s behaviour on the basis it gets things done is the same excuse dictators have used throughout history. Be wary of anyone who says ethics are a barrier to progress.

    This from @NewsNight and @lewis_goodall is a watershed moment. For the past 4 years the blameless have suffered while the government has failed to deal with the culpable. The human cost of that injustice is now clear to see. The government must act to #endourcladdingscandal

    “What sort of government do we have leaving a pensioner to go back to work to fix the mistakes of others?” Leaseholder @LiamSpender, speaking on behalf of @ukcag, says the building safety crisis “is a problem made in Whitehall” that “needs to be fixed in Whitehall” #Newsnight

    Very sorry to see @michaelgove sacked. He worked harder than any of his predecessors to try and #endourcladdingscandal. The solution isn’t perfect but was a step change on what was offered before. Now he’s gone the risk is that there’ll be no heavyweight to see things through.

    #FireSafetyBill I would like to thank the many people who've left kind comments and thank you messages in response to the live tweeting over the past few days. I am happy to have done my bit to help and am touched it was read by, and useful to, so many people.

    The wheels are coming off the government’s repeated attempt to “PR” its way out of this. The issues are real. The bills are starting to become real. Flats will not sell on the back of those bills. Reality will not match the government’s rhetoric. #NotJustCladding #WeAreTrapped

    @TheSundayTimes reports misleading and inaccurate info on the progress to remediate unsafe buildings. Our priority is making sure residents are safe by removing dangerous cladding from the highest risk buildings as quickly as possible. Our response: mhclgmedia.blog.gov.uk/2021/06/19/res…

    #bbcqt It is a national disgrace that in the 4 years since Grenfell we still have no fix for this issue. It comes down to choice. A political choice by the government not to act to protect its citizens but instead to protect corporate interests.

    1/6 Using MHCLG’s own estimates there are 8,000 >18 m buildings with cladding requiring an EWS1. Multiply that by the £2.2 million average full BSF funding per building awarded to date (£241.5m/106) gives an estimated cost of £18.23 billion. #EndOurCladdingScandal

    [1/2] There have been recent reports suggesting that our £5 billion investment in remediating unsafe buildings will only cover 10% of the total cost. This figure is unsubstantiated and the reports are unreliable and unhelpful.

    #bbcqt #EndOurCladdingScandal is not a difficult problem to solve. It’s already been solved in Australia. The government chooses not to solve it here.

    Great success today at the #LeaseholdersTogether rally in Parliament Square. Honoured to meet so many leaseholders and hear their stories. Here are some pictures from the day, including with @SMcPartland -many thanks for all your support of leaseholders.

    After yesterday’s announcement, Fire Safety Bill is returning to the Commons on 24 February to consider McPartland-Smith and other amendments. Let’s see if MPs are prepared to put their money where their mouths are on leaseholders not paying @LKPleasehold @ukcag #WeWontTakeLoans

    1/4 Hello @BerkeleyGroupUK. Just to let you know I nearly fell through one of your floors this morning. The floor you built 20 years ago has no batons holding it up. There's only air between the floor boards and the room underneath. So much for "Designed for Life".

    6/6 So before taking us all for mugs and treating people’s homes like the object of a correspondence school marketing exercise, perhaps you’d care to look at your own (woefully inadequate) data before hurling bricks through that glass roof?
