Waking watch: a short story Once upon a time we had a WW. Other than harass girls, they did nothing. A temporary fire alarm (over £100k) was then installed to replace the WW. That alarm now has a fault. Tonight we welcome back the WW. The end 😢 #endourcladdingscandal

I need to slay the direct debit monster since paying £439 a month service charge on a 1 bed flat, then if we loose our section 20 case in Feb potentially a loan for £12k will clean me out. To think I bought this money pit back in the day for £60k and £85 a month service charge.

The sad thing is it’s not even shocking anymore, it’s been normalised. It’s perhaps even aspirational as I’d love to sell mine at a £60k loss. @Keir_Starmer @mtpennycook @AngelaRayner
Years of disputes over safety defects at Oceana Boulevard by @BarrattRedrow has left leaseholders unable to sell their homes 👇 Crippled by soaring insurance costs & selling at auction for £60k loss. How many lives must be ruined before @mhclg steps in? https://t.co/rdhteNOm5n
