My next reads on a subject close to my heart. I find just writing my blogs tortuous at times, so I have total respect for those who manage a whole book! @LucyGoBag @gillkernick

Today, I settled my Dad's #Hillsborough civil claim. It's been quite a sad day tbh because my Dad should be having that money. However, he died over 11 years ago & he will never see a penny of it. After Hillsborough his life was ruined & made hell because of the #Coverup 1/4

Siderise - the cavity barrier manufacturer - is challenging its inclusion in a group of manufacturers and contractors banned from projects RBKC. It says its products didn't cause or contribute to the fire. That's true. But it also isn't the full story...

92 months since our 72 loved ones were killed at Grenfell, 18 of them children. 92 months, still no justice. We await the Governmentโs response to the Phase 2 Recommendations. Every single one must be implemented as a legacy to those who died and to prevent another Grenfell.

Today marks 91 months since 72 loved ones were taken from us at Grenfell. We still have no clear road to Justice, and no adequate health monitoring to ensure all bereaved and survivors get to see it if it comes. Will we see any improvements before the 8 year anniversary?

Amid the very worrying evidence about the health of Grenfell firefighters, time to ask again - why no health monitoring for the survivors and wider community? Below is from testimony week last year
Among several moving speeches from residents of the wider estate, Agnes Murray spoke of the health fears the community endures due to the toxic chemicals that settled around their homes. Around 70 have coughed up blood, pets have died strangely yet there is no health monitoring:

Amandaโs experience of coming up against what appeared to her to be a largely unknowing and uncaring wall of political obfuscation should weigh heavily on everyone in Parliament. Thank you Glenda for telling her story. @mhclg @EOCS_Official

Out of all of the blocks I have reported on as a journalist, the experiences of leaseholders at Mar House have to be up there as the worst. Here's my investigation of the residents whose homeowning dream, soon turned into a leasehold nightmare

Yesterday marked what would have been Christine Keeganโs 89th birthday a day that should have been filled with laughter, love, the warm embrace of family. Instead, it stands as a poignant reminder of the immense burden she carried and the unshakable courage with which she stood

While many will wake up on Christmas morning to open presents, 161,000 children will wake up homeless, with no place to call home. Homelessness is a political choice. It needs to be end. Thank you @AmnestyUK
