Labour are still sweeping building safety risks under the carpet to protect industry, while residents remain trapped in unsafe, unsellable homes. They promised a government-backed reinsurance scheme in opposition but have yet to deliver. www.insidehousing.co.uk/news/redraft...

"The failure was allowing unsafe buildings to be put up in the first place, and then creating years of uncertainty about who pays, how much, and when. (...) If you can’t price the risk, lenders hesitate, buyers hesitate, insurers reprice, and the market seizes up."

Promises made, promises not kept. Our update on the building safety crisis: where we are, and what Labour still needs to change ⬇️ endourcladdingscandal.org/posts/campai...

🗨️ "Residents are left in limbo. You can’t sell your flat" "It will be fixed, but it’ll be over a long period of time. They told us recently that we’re looking at a horizon of about three years…So we’re looking at 2028 at the very earliest.” www.itv.com/news/central...

Congratulations @SamanthaDixonMP Looking forward to working with you to find truly comprehensive solutions for ALL LH’s to escape our living nightmare.Innocent victims of this scandal, feel completely betrayed by manifesto & promises in opposition Urgently need our lives back!

99 months since we lost 72 loved ones in the Grenfell fire. Still no justice. As the Government begins to demolish the Tower, please keep Grenfell in your hearts. We will never forget — and we will not stop until justice is done.

🔴 RESHUFFLE Our statement 👇 #BuildingSafetyCrisis #EndOurCladdingScandal

Labour's second (junior) Minister for Building Safety, @alexjjnorris.bsky.social, has been reshuffled. The politics continues. The lives of ordinary people remain an afterthought.

"The block is surrounded by scaffolding because of cladding remediation work. (...) it's a problem to open the windows" 🗨️ "The summers are going to get longer and hotter. Families can't live the way we're living." www.bbc.com/news/article...

“Refusal to protect #nonqualifyingLH & walking back on promises-NQ equally blameless..Gov decides some LH’s are more innocent v others Make industry pay..non-cladding must be funded..@mhclg ‼️If @Keir_Starmer believes justice, safety & fairness-wants to deliver CHANGE show us”

"The increased provision comes after a fresh wave of intrusive surveys uncovered widespread issues with cavity barriers hidden behind brickwork and render. The full scale of the problems had not been picked up in earlier surface-level checks." www.constructionenquirer.com/2025/07/30/e...

⚖️ "The ruling could have far-reaching implications for who bears the costs of building safety-related costs in the future, with judges ruling that parts of the Building Safety Act 2022 (BSA) can be applied retrospectively, favouring leaseholders and residents." 👇 www.mylondon.news/news/south-l...

A year since Labour came to power with manifesto commitments to fix the cladding and building safety scandal. But on the ground, nothing has changed. Our opinion piece 👇 www.britsafe.org/safety-manag...

📢 Leaseholders Has a year of Labour being in power made any difference to your life? Have there been any highlights? (Or just more lowlights?) Let the Minister for Building Safety know your thoughts 👇🏼

I’ve had 6 years of of misery Alex. As Building Safety Minister - where are the highlights? Have you forgotten leaseholders??!!! Quite shocking from you, in all honesty!

Ed Daffarn @grenfellunited.bsky.social 🗨️ "We sit here talking 8 years on and people are still going to sleep in buildings that aren't safe. It's horrific... It's horrific to live with." @alexjjnorris.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=N_lu...

Thank you Shadow Housing Sec @kevinhollinrake for your Q’s to @mhclg👇 & commitment to hold Gov to account on the Building Safety Scandal ❌Leaseholders still paying for Non-Cladding defects ❌Uncapped £ for #NonQualifyingLH, U11m & Enfranchised! questions-statements.parliament.uk/written-ques...

The Grenfell inquiry told us how three manufacturers lied. Today's revelations in @thetimes.com spell out how misleading marketing was not limited to three bad actors. The cladding and building safety crisis is becoming Britain’s biggest corporate scandal. www.thetimes.com/life-style/p...

It's the usual self-congratulatory warm words from the ABI & British Insurance Brokers' Association CEOs with a pretence that they care about leaseholders when their focus is and will always be on ways they can continue to profit from our misery. 2/2 www.abi.org.uk/news/news-ar...

📺 We gave evidence to the Public Accounts Committee for their inquiry into cladding remediation in February. Missed it? ▶️ Catch up on our YouTube channel. 👇 youtu.be/73ujWa6d53g

Great question from Baroness Pinnock on rising buildings insurance costs and the PAS9980 standard. ❗ MHCLG ministers must do a lot more to protect leaseholders. questions-statements.parliament.uk/written-ques...

Dire for #nonqualifyingLH as face non-cladding costs of 000’s & also “..remain NQ for protections in perpetuity.. those who own NQ leases will never have any protection .. currently, or in future” ‼️Never able to sell as lenders refuse to lend to future buyers‼️ ⚖️@AlexJJNorris

🗨️“The cladding scandal has fundamentally and irreversibly changed my view of the fairness of living in this country and has highlighted the ease with which so many people who have been involved have been able to prioritise profit over human beings’’ www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/news/claddin...

The Housing Committee questioned Building Safety Minister @alexjjnorris.bsky.social on Tuesday. The oral evidence session was focused on the Government's response to the Grenfell Tower Inquiry Phase 2 report and action on building safety. Catch up here 👇 parliamentlive.tv/event/index/...

📺 Angela Rayner said this week that anyone living in an unsafe home was one person too many. But her government continues to rule thousands of leaseholders out of any help to fix fire safety defects. Giles Grover joined BBC breakfast this morning 👇 #BuildingSafetyCrisis youtu.be/-olrOnIoivs

I watched most of this session with @alexjjnorris.bsky.social He agrees with what the Conservatives have done, i.e. to make some leaseholders pay for cladding remediation. ❌ Labour's support for @nonqualifyinglh.bsky.social in opposition has vanished. Guilty parties are still off the hook.

Tune in to the next Housing Committee session for its Inquiry into Grenfell & Building Safety on Tuesday. @alexjjnorris.bsky.social & senior govt officials will be giving evidence. Will they just repeat the same tired lines? Will we ever see change? committees.parliament.uk/event/23817/...

❌ Result of MHCLG not prioritising safety "Gap between the prices of houses and flats in the UK has widened to a 30-year high" "The average price of a house rose beyond 1.5 times the price of a flat for the first time in 2021, in the wake of the UK’s cladding crisis" www.ft.com/content/377c...

👉 "Fire and rescue services “lack sufficient capacity” and the workforce needed to identify and inspect all mid-rise housing blocks" ❗"The number of mid-rise residential buildings is not known, however estimates range from 79,000 to 150,000." 👇 @alexjjnorris.bsky.social see the problem?
