Black mould, water pouring through the ceilings, sodden carpets, and at risk of electrocution every day. No-one should be living like this in 21st century Britain, or anywhere. And yet our investigation found Fransoy, Leroy, and other residents in South Norwood trying to survive.

Also wanted to thank @forensicgod and @RonRwarming aka Second Sight - two more heroes of this sorry, scandalous saga. To steal the words of @johnrayitv - “they are number crunchers. Bean counters. And to hundreds of persecuted people, saviours.” https://t.co/x1TSmsfv1L
