Retired leaseholder. Limited funds. Active litter picker and community carer. Currently worried sick about cladding crisis

⁉️BALANCED⁉️ We have evidenced the minister with many case studies of innocent LH’s lives in tatters. #nonqualifyingLH not privy to affordability tests as are freeholders and unable to sell in perpetuity with lenders and solicitors not accepting Non Qualifying status.

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 @mhclg

Today is 5️⃣ years since our relaunch. There has been some progress but it has been far too slow. ... And there's still much more to do for all leaseholders and residents to be safe and feel safe in their home. Over to you @SteveReedMP @SamanthaDixonMP
Today we relaunch the #EndOurCladdingScandal campaign and call on the government to follow these 10 steps to make this happen. Please watch our video by clicking on the below link 👇🏼 https://t.co/fKmrEyVJFv

It is also unclear how buildings below 18 metres will be made safe if the BSR remains focused on a subset of the thousands of unsafe buildings across the country. Sadly, the piecemeal approach to people being and feeling safe in their homes looks set to continue. 5/5

The focus on cladding and only life-critical safety risks remains a huge concern and there is still little consideration of resident-managed buildings, where remediation is often reliant on a developer and/or freeholder. 4/n

In recent years, we have seen an increasing number of buildings where enforcement has led directly to people being kicked out of their homes, or their being forced to pay thousands of pounds for a waking watch to avoid this. 3/n

However, as always, questions remain, particularly in terms of what enforcement will actually look like on the ground and the harm this will cause leaseholders and residents. 2/n

After the debacle of costs for compliance being marketed by govt & the HSE as a cost to industry, when leaseholders were, and still are, clearly on the hook, it is a step forward to see that leaseholders will not be forced to pay for the Remediation Enforcement Unit itself. 1/n
Government says ‘not a penny’ of new remediation unit will be passed on to leaseholders https://t.co/5MYvi1v3hL

Welcome to @SamanthaDixonMP, 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. https://t.co/wpDrJ9cl1R

Our statement on the reshuffle 👇🏼 We still need to see real leadership from @UKLabour so their manifesto promises on building safety have a chance of being kept.

📢 @CommonsHCLG is to examine the work of the Building Safety Regulator. This will review "balancing robust safety measures with the need to build more housing." Hopefully, they won't forget innocent leaseholders waiting for their homes to be made safe. https://t.co/VOo19uTmtg

🗨️ " 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 what are you going to do to fix this crisis? https://t.co/xOUGUE30GI

Sharon Naidoo says she can't afford to live in her Camberley flat but can't sell up either.

Wait till you hear about the unsellable, unmortgageable flats sitting empty in blocks all over the country.
We're facing a housing crisis — it's ridiculous to let land we could build on sit empty and disused. I said I would get Britain building. I am. We're unlocking brownfield railway sites across Britain to build 40,000 new homes. Giving more families the security they deserve.

@Keir_Starmer @mhclg Release the million’s homes trapped in #BuildingSafetyCrisis BSA too complex- deeming #nonqualifyingLH less innocent than others & stalling sales market . Strong words from @AngelaRayner in opposition, @mhclg has disagreed with the PAC .. to make product manufacturers pay
“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”

Great to meet @RichParkerLab @WestMids_CA @WestMidsFire and @BhamCityCouncil yesterday to discuss the Local Remediation Acceleration Plan. Leaseholders and residents must be placed at the heart of remediation. @AngelaRayner @AlexJJNorris @EOCS_Official

How far down your list is Building Safety @AlexJJNorris?
I’m continuing to highlight my favourite achievements from Labour’s first year in government today, looking at mineworkers' pensions.

If he dismantled existing feudal toxic leaseholds, he'd be able to hire fewer mental health workers and hit his target.
I promised to recruit more mental health workers. I have. Less than a year in, we're already 79% of the way to our target, with 6,700 recruited since July. And we're making it easier for patients to access support as part of our 10 Year Health Plan.
