We agree with the strong words in the Grenfell inquiry report. Keir Starmer now we need action on the ground. 🚨 Making buildings safe must be a priority. 📺 Jennifer Frame from our team spoke to Sky News 👇 #BuildingSafetyCrisis youtu.be/TnKhCcm2CRs

The chain of cover-ups that led to Grenfell - UnHerd. ⁦Peter Apps⁩ whose book is excellent. Points out here the attempts by government POST Grenfell to claim the cladding on the building had been ‘banned’. Proven not true by the ban later announced unherd.com/newsroom/the-c…

It’s NOT JUST CLADDING Angela Rayner ! It’s ALL fire safety defects!! All committed by the same culpable builders, ignored by the same culpable regulatory bodies, deregulated by the same successive Govt’s as cladding. The leaseholder is innocent. #BuildingSafetyCrisis

A point I made at yesterday Financial Times Live where we discussed the British primal urge to get on to the housing ladder at any cost often buying tiny flats with dubious incentives - if you keep buying their product then developers will keep building it!

Please read this thread by Peter Apps IMHO the best informed & smartest journalist on housing. Combined w Michael Gove ‘s revelations about HM Treasury blocking his efforts to hold Grenfell manufacturers to account. Says it all about our sorry, valueless country

UK PLC is led by accountants & PR firms chasing the next quarter or headline & we wonder why we are unable to devote ourselves to anything long term anymore, why we have a productivity problem & why we are always looking for the shortcut to solve our issues.

Labour said in 2017 linking Winter Fuel Payment to pension credit would cost 4000 lives bit.ly/4giBOnR as its plans to take it from 10m pensioners face 2 parliamentary challenges - Commons Tuesday, Lords Wednesday. Both set to fail but pressure from unions is growing

5 years today since our entire building was destroyed by fire. Some residents will finally move back home this month. Others still have no idea how they will ever own a home again. Berkeley Group MTVH Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Gov can be sure we will not stop campaigning until we have justice.

Downside of cashless society Hainan, China🇨🇳 After the typhoon, the water and electricity were cut off, Chinese people desperately wanted to charge their phones. Because all your money is in your mobile phone. Without a mobile phone, you can’t even buy a piece of bread.

Good news. The full state pension is to rise £460 a year next year due to the triple lock. That is a real rise of about £200 above inflation. Yet there are 2 things I'd point out in the context of the debate about the winter fuel payment. 1. That starts next April. This winter
