everything is very fact dependent. It depends on construction methods etc. But also, the key issue, is usually going to be limitation periods: claims have to be brought within 6 years.
What would the implications be if the developers lost these cases, for leaseholders living in private blocks built by same developers, with similar defects? #EndOurCladdingScandal

It's really quite phenomenal - well done you people 👏👏👏 "Tens of thousands of people have joined community efforts to look after the most vulnerable in society by volunteering to pick up shopping, deliver medicine and even offer music lessons" https://t.co/oCXcHX04GL

Stressed about rent but also wondering whether a rent suspension is feasible, check this from @joebeswick1 at @NEF & then sign up with @LDNRentersUnion For those of you outside of London you can check the #CantPayWontPay campaign for advice and sign up with @ACORN_tweets
There’s lots of debate about whether rent suspension is possible, necessary and appropriate, and whether it would help the renters most in need of help. @nef we have have outlined how such a policy would work, and why it is needed 1/

An important message for mutual aid groups.
Government advice is confusing at best, deadly at worst. We encourage you to listen to doctors and carry on as usual with your mutual aid projects, social distancing and lockdown. #lockdownuk #COVID19

This is a fantastic document explaining how social housing has been squeezed over years of government greed and the impact this has on the people who rely on them. Recommend this to everyone. #Dispossession #thegreatsocialhousingswindle

This is so lovely. Something that allows those in isolation to reach out to a grieving family.
Are you a keen knitter or sewer? We need your help. Help us to help families feel closer to their loved ones at this difficult time. We’re calling for people to send in knitted or sewn ‘Hearts for our Hospitals’. https://t.co/qKCxbk4ctG

Matt Hancock: ‘People said the NHS would be overwhelmed and it isn’t.’’ Is that because people are being left to die at home and in care homes? #r4today

Living in lockdown - 16 per cent of families in London live in overcrowded accommodation. That's almost three times as much as any other region or nation across the UK - though overcrowding still a big issue in other cities within regions, such as Birmingham.

Should the UK #voluntary sector receive targeted government support during the #COVID19 crisis? @LSEMarshall's Jonathan Roberts examines the role & value of UK voluntary sector and asks how the government could help. https://t.co/bs3Jox39vK
