This is me exactly 2 years ago, proudest day of my life, the day I bought my first home. Today I got to mark 2 years in my first home by watching 320 Tory MPs vote to force me into paying ruinous bills to fix defects installed when I was 11 years old 🤦🏼♀️ #FireSafetyBill

💔 The news of Amanda Walker's death is absolutely devastating. Our hearts go out to her family and friends.
Within months of telling parliament how her home left her in a financial and emotional black hole, Amanda Walker was dead. Her parents are telling her story ⬇️

A much appreciated visit from Building Safety Minister @rushanaraali to Mcr today & the Linx Building, to hear first hand of all the difficulties with remediation works, soaring insurance costs, lack of transparency & more. Thanks to Ruth from Linx and @McrCladiators as ever

🔴 Our thoughts are with everyone impacted by the fire in Dagenham this morning. The number one priority is that all affected residents are safe and well and get the support and answers they need. Action to make our homes safe remains urgent - and the pace must accelerate.

We welcome the new govt’s intention to accelerate remediation but it must hold all parties to account, with firm deadlines & real consequences for delays, otherwise building profitable new homes will continue to take precedence over making our homes safe. https://t.co/eFzPnSo2SH

🚨 @mhclg Government's failure to fix the building safety crisis has consequences. Up to 3 million leaseholders cannot remortgage or sell, and many can no longer afford to live in their own home. 👇
Overheard at the weekend… lettings agent says she let 16 properties last week as homeowners are forced to become accidental landlords due to being unable to sell their homes. 🧵(1/9)

Leaseholders "unable to sell their flats due to ‘nightmare’ cladding remediation works on their building." 🏗️ Remediation means constant drilling, water ingress and no access to balconies or natural light for months. @joecoughlan_ reports 👇 https://t.co/0pqvlCT8tr

Disappointing to see no reference of the cladding & building safety scandal in the King’s Speech. We look forward to meeting the Minister with the brief next week to understand how @UKLabour will meet its manifesto commitments 👇🏼 We also hope to meet @AngelaRayner soon.

🚨 600,000 people will go to bed tonight in homes that are still unsafe, and almost 3 million are trapped in homes they cannot sell. We need an end to the decades-long collective failure of the state and the construction industry. 0ur opinion piece 👇 https://t.co/SAvLBuKH57

Let's see how quickly @luhc & @hmtreasury move on the building safety crisis. We've been trapped for 7 years.
The new Labour Government has done more in 72 hours to reform the planning system than previous governments have done in 14 years. The work of change has begun.

Hello @Keir_Starmer 👋🏽👇🏼 Four years later, the law may have changed but the vast majority of innocent leaseholders remain trapped. We had strong support from @UKLabour in opposition. Now we need to know your plan to protect all victims of this unresolved scandal. Thank you.
What is it going to take for the Prime Minister to finally act on this? https://t.co/i4mOh2yPYh

The 2019 Conservative Party Manifesto promised unequivocally to restrict ground rents to a peppercorn. If the Tories are abandoning that manifesto commitment, leaseholders deserve to know why. Michael Gove needs to come to Parliament on Monday to explain himself.
