Always in our heart and thoughts 💚

Today as people spend time with their loved ones, as always we remember ours who were taken from us.

104 months on, and still no Justice for those lost at Grenfell.

Alongside the red hearts you’ll see today, please take a moment to remember the significance of our green one💚

Thousands of people trapped in dangerous homes as Grenfell survivor makes plea More than 275,000 people could be living in homes with dangerous cladding - as a survivor of the Grenfell Tower fire has warned Labour is failing those who died in the 2017 tragedy

Grenfell survivor Ed Daffarn criticised Steve Reed MP for focusing on building 1.5million homes.

🗨️“It's a stain on this government that people are still not living in safe buildings. They need to go faster.”

❌ Government isn’t monitoring how many shared owners can’t sell or remortgage due to the building safety crisis, points to a 3‑year-old “pledge” few lenders follow, and say they won’t “help” further.

These are vital questions.

Every day, we receive new emails from shared owners whose lives have been torn apart by the building safety crisis.

🚫 The response from Minister @samanthadixonmp.bsky.social is particularly shocking.

🖇️ Link in next post.

Will there be meaningful change on the key issues of non-cladding defects, non-qualifying leaseholders, extortionate buildings insurance or shared ownership buybacks in 2026?

We aren’t holding our breath.

Ghost flats are becoming Britain’s new housing crisis Thousands of new flats are sitting empty and losing value – why do more luxury towers keep appearing?

"After watching what unfolded after Grenfell, with young people caught in starter homes they can’t sell while facing huge bills, why would anyone in their right mind want to buy a flat in a block?"

Major fires still a risk under 'spineless' new safety law, construction boss warns David Jones believes it will permit too many risks, but the government calls it a proportionate approach.

❌ Serious fire risks assessed as being "tolerable", homes left half-safe at best.

❌ The Government deflects to industry, flats remain unsellable, leaseholders are still trapped.

The merry-go-round of buck-passing continues.

Is Labour betraying cladding victims to meet its housing targets? By prioritising building houses over building safety, the government is ignoring its own post-Grenfell promises — and putting lives at risk

Despite strong rhetoric in opposition, Labour’s commitment to building safety is increasingly in doubt.

This drift typifies Labour’s approach so far: governing by targets rather than delivering the change voters expected.

The Building Safety Regulator - Committees - UK Parliament

🆕 HoL Committee report on Building Safety Regulator

Residents waiting for remediation are all too aware of how developers are weaponising Labour’s commitment to build 1.5m homes by creating a false dilemma between safety & meeting targets for newbuilds.
committees.parliament.uk/work/9196/th...

“It is really straightforward,” he says. “I would make those people stand in front of the tower. I would make them stand and look at it, because it is the most profound manifestation of system failure. We can’t repeat that, and that is something people are too quick to forget. “I think one of the great advantages of our background is that it’s not hypothetical for us. I have stood next to Charlie in too many awful spaces over the years, on too many streets in London thinking, ‘How do we get to this?’ ‘How did people end up living like this?’ “And while the Building Safety Regulator wasn’t working as it should, that should not be a reason in the short term to just step away and abandon it. The moral imperative is too great.” This afternoon, he says, he is going to a boxing club with his son. Mr Roe has boxed and coached boxing his whole life. When he attended Grenfell, he knew where he was immediately because of the Dale Youth Boxing Club at the base of the tower – a gem in Britain’s feted amateur boxing circuit that has produced multiple world champions from the streets of west London. “When I go into that space this afternoon, I’m going to be with people in an environment I’ve known since I was a kid,” says Mr Roe. “The warmth, the humour, the banter, the energy. And I know there’s estates and blocks all over this country that are exactly the same. And when I think about what motivates me, it’s that, it’s those spaces. It’s protecting them, and making sure they are safe.”

"I would make those people stand in front of the tower. I would make them stand and look at it"

Building Safety Regulator chair, Andy Roe, asked to respond to commentators who call for the regulator to be axed:

1️⃣ year today since the "Remediation Acceleration Plan" announcement.

The only "change" leaseholders have seen is a new Housing Secretary and Minister for Building Safety.

MHCLG are still dragging their feet.

Labour are still far from keeping their manifesto promises.

High rise flats tenants are losing sleep over 'Grenfell-like' fears A Brierley Hill councillor says fire doors in a block of high rise flats are ‘not fit for purpose’.

🗣️ "I found 43 issues in ten minutes, doors don’t fit in frames properly, seals are coming out and door closers are not powerful enough to keep doors closed when it is windy"

My local estate agent told me 2 years ago that flat sales were falling. Mostly due to ever increasing service charges. We are stuck physically, emotionally and financially.

Why have home buyers fallen out of love with flats? A growing number of flat owners are being forced to sell their homes for less than they paid for them, as appetite for single-storey homes appears to wane.

''Flats often come with some off putting factors. (...) This is particularly the case due to cladding issues"

"Service charges are also reaching terrifying levels in some apartment blocks across major cities."

My goodness, those poor residents 💔

99 months since we lost 72 loved ones in the Grenfell fire.

Still no justice.

As the Government begins to demolish the Tower, please keep Grenfell in your hearts. We will never forget — and we will not stop until justice is done.
