. . . He'd probably also want you to know that nearly eight hours after the protest begun, people are still being arrested in Parliament Square for holding bits of paper expressing support in principle for an organisation that has never used violence against anyone.

Chris has a simple message, as both a British army veteran and the son of a Holocaust survivor: the genocide in Gaza must end, British cooperation with the IDF must stop, and Palestine Action is not a terrorist organisation.

His disgust has mounted over the years, and he felt he needed to take a stand. Chris was arrested this afternoon wearing his regimental tie and blazer.

.⁦⁦@RSBenwell⁩ is right - exempting small sites means almost three-quarters of developments face no requirement to compensate for nature loss - let alone enhance it. Govt pledges to restore nature aren’t worth the paper they were written on 👇

.@mtpennycook once told us that the case of 53 Agar Grove was at the ‘forefront of his mind’ when developing policy to protect buyers. Now in government, he’s easing regulation for housebuilders, but where are the protections for consumers he once promised?”

We’re backing local builders who know their communities and can get homes built where they’re needed most. The urgent action we’re taking today will make the system simpler, fairer and more cost effective, so smaller housebuilders can help get Britain building.

Horrifying to see @UKLabour & @AngelaRayner @AlexJJNorris continue the terrible legacy of the @Conservatives & let off multi-billion pound #cladding manufacturers off scot-free, while leaving their innocent victims to pay the costs of the #BuildingSafetyCrisis.

The Grenfell inquiry told us how three manufacturers lied. Today's revelations in @thetimes spell out how misleading marketing was not limited to three bad actors. The cladding and building safety crisis is becoming Britain’s biggest corporate scandal. https://t.co/zwzwifYPqn

Once again it is journalists who are getting to the heart of just how big this scandal is. How product manufacturers distance themselves from the consequences of their dangerous products. And just how easy it is from them to get away with it. #EndOurCladdingScandal

It’s 63 months since I found out my home is unsafe. And despite the thousands of pounds wasted on dodgy interim measures and insurance, precisely NOTHING to be done to rectify the actual defects. Those who caused these problems don’t live with the risk. #EndOurCladdingScandal

Huge thanks to Giles and @EOCS_Official Without courageous and determined leaseholders continually giving up our time speak up and tell the truth, it’s very likely that the fiction by those doing no nearly enough would have gone unchecked. #EndOurCladdingScandal

Avoid. Shared. Ownership! “I've complained, I've offered the flat back. I've emailed the CEO. But no one cares. I would literally give it away if I could, but that's not even an option."

Leasehold concerns, sky-high service charges and strict sell-on rules. Inside the people becoming trapped from moving on and losing money after buying a shared ownership home.
