Our latest update: Remediation Bill, Building Safety Regulator, under-11m buildings, Interim Measures Alarm Fund, and Shared Owners’ Network. Change won’t happen without you. Take action now 👇 endourcladdingscandal.org/posts/act-no...

Buildings Insurance of £14.5k skyrockets to... 3️⃣1️⃣1️⃣,0️⃣0️⃣0️⃣ POUNDS! Each leaseholder now being forced to pay £4k. 16+ months since MHCLG said they’re working (with insurers) to maybe possibly perhaps consider action. Working at their usual "pace".

Apparently, the Prime Minister is "determined that everyone should have a safe and secure home" and Labour is "fixing building safety." Has anyone told the Housing Secretary and MHCLG? 👀

"When you have Angela Rayner, the day after the fire... promising to do everything she can for the residents... and then 18 months later, the Govt and the GLA saying ‘actually we need the money back’, that’s outrageous. It’s absolutely outrageous." www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

“We’re really angry, we’re scared, we’re upset - it’s now the Government that’s our biggest challenge. I feel betrayed." The worst residential fire since Grenfell. Leaseholders lost their homes. Now @UKLabour wants to claim £6m at the victims' expense. youtu.be/oCi4cSHImF4?...

📆 This Friday at 12pm We’re joining journalist @peteapps.bsky.social for a live Substack chat on the building safety crisis. We’ll discuss what’s going wrong and how Labour could fix it. 🔗 Link and how to join in next post.

Nearly 8 months since Labour promised funding for buildings under 11m. Details due last September. Still missing. ⏳ Meanwhile leaseholders in “low-rise” blocks are getting life-changing bills for problems they didn’t cause. History repeating itself. Change? What change?

Today marks 105 months since the Grenfell fire — a tragedy that showed what happens when profit is put before people. Dirty Business on C4 is a stark reminder that systems allowing dangerous shortcuts and weak oversight cost lives. Remember Grenfell. Demand accountability.

We joined leaseholders, policymakers and sector experts at a recent LEASE event to discuss the ongoing building safety crisis. From remediation delays to the reality facing residents still trapped in unsafe homes, here are the key takeaways. 👇 endourcladdingscandal.org/posts/lease-...

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...

Today as people spend time with their loved ones, as always we remember ours who were taken from us. 104 months on, and still no Justice for those lost at Grenfell. Alongside the red hearts you’ll see today, please take a moment to remember the significance of our green one💚

Grenfell survivor Ed Daffarn criticised Steve Reed MP for focusing on building 1.5million homes. 🗨️“It's a stain on this government that people are still not living in safe buildings. They need to go faster.” www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

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...

❌ Government isn’t monitoring how many shared owners can’t sell or remortgage due to the building safety crisis, points to a 3‑year-old “pledge” few lenders follow, and say they won’t “help” further. @nonqualifyinglh.bsky.social questions-statements.parliament.uk/written-ques...

These are vital questions. Every day, we receive new emails from shared owners whose lives have been torn apart by the building safety crisis. 🚫 The response from Minister @samanthadixonmp.bsky.social is particularly shocking. 🖇️ Link in next post.

Will there be meaningful change on the key issues of non-cladding defects, non-qualifying leaseholders, extortionate buildings insurance or shared ownership buybacks in 2026? We aren’t holding our breath. #BuildingSafetyCrisis

"After watching what unfolded after Grenfell, with young people caught in starter homes they can’t sell while facing huge bills, why would anyone in their right mind want to buy a flat in a block?" ✍️ @vickyspratt.bsky.social inews.co.uk/opinion/ghos...

❌ Serious fire risks assessed as being "tolerable", homes left half-safe at best. ❌ The Government deflects to industry, flats remain unsellable, leaseholders are still trapped. The merry-go-round of buck-passing continues. #BuildingSafetyCrisis www.bbc.com/news/article...

Despite strong rhetoric in opposition, Labour’s commitment to building safety is increasingly in doubt. This drift typifies Labour’s approach so far: governing by targets rather than delivering the change voters expected. #BuildingSafetyCrisis www.thetimes.com/life-style/p...

"I would make those people stand in front of the tower. I would make them stand and look at it" Building Safety Regulator chair, Andy Roe, asked to respond to commentators who call for the regulator to be axed:

1️⃣ year today since the "Remediation Acceleration Plan" announcement. The only "change" leaseholders have seen is a new Housing Secretary and Minister for Building Safety. MHCLG are still dragging their feet. Labour are still far from keeping their manifesto promises. #BuildingSafetyCrisis

🗣️ "I found 43 issues in ten minutes, doors don’t fit in frames properly, seals are coming out and door closers are not powerful enough to keep doors closed when it is windy" ❌ No oversight. No enforcement. No grip. Change? What change? www.dudleynews.co.uk/news/2560452...

🗨️ "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...

''Flats often come with some off putting factors. (...) This is particularly the case due to cladding issues" "Service charges are also reaching terrifying levels in some apartment blocks across major cities." #BuildingSafetyCrisis www.thisismoney.co.uk/money/mortga...

🆕 The House of Commons library has published a briefing on cladding remediation on blocks of flats under 11 metres. It includes information on what leaseholders can do if they have concerns. 🔗 commonslibrary.parliament.uk/remediating-...

Welcome to @samanthadixonmp.bsky.social, the new Minister for Building Safety, Fire & Democracy. Government must act to end the building safety crisis and protect all leaseholders. We look forward to meeting you soon. www.gov.uk/government/m...

❗Residents in a 35-storey building told "they have six months to get out of their homes because of “additional issues” that have been discovered relating to fire safety in the block." "The building was only completed in 2022." #BuildingSafetyCrisis insidecroydon.com/2025/09/12/t...

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.

A Select Committee is due to examine the work of the Building Safety Regulator. MPs will review "balancing robust safety measures with the need to build more housing." Let's hope they won't forget leaseholders waiting for their homes to be made safe. committees.parliament.uk/event/24913/...

"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...

🗨️ " I can't afford to live here and I can't sell" ❗ Some lenders are still not willing to offer mortgages to buyers, even where a remediation plan is in place. ❗ @alexjjnorris.bsky.social what are you going to do to fix this crisis? www.bbc.com/news/article...

"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 @mayoroflondon.bsky.social set up a "Joint Remediation Partnership Board" with City Hall, Govt, councils, London Fire Brigade & regulatory bodies "to lead vital work to end London’s building cladding crisis" ❗ Leaseholders and residents must be represented. www.london.gov.uk/programmes-s...

⚖️ "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...

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...

8 years on. Still far from justice. Still far from peace. Today, we will stand shoulder to shoulder with the Grenfell bereaved, survivors and community. We will remember the 72 people who died. We will honour their memory. We will demand justice 💚 Join us on the silent walk.

"The combination of a 40 per cent equity loan, a stagnant housing market and the leasehold and building safety crisis left too many people trapped in unsellable homes after buying flats with unsafe cladding." 👀 @alexjjnorris.bsky.social @matthewpennycookmp.bsky.social www.ft.com/content/c4b8...
