This is my MP
@FelicityBuchan
. She represents Kensington with a majority of just 150. She voted to allow water companies to pump raw sewage into our rivers & the sea, polluting our watercourses & beaches with human excrement. Her actions will be remembered at the General Election
@cabinetofficeuk
Was it this? That person deserves a promotion. Political impartiality does not mean standing by while an unaccountable eugenicist destroys the government. Tens of thousands of people have died because those who could have stopped it didn't.

This is not just about safety and risk assessments: this is about women's privacy and dignity, and their ability to access male-free spaces when they are at their most vulnerable.
I am beginning to seriously think there needs to be a Public Inquiry into how it is that 4 years after
#Grenfell
, we are in the worst
#BuildingSafetyScandal
possibly ever. How did
@GOVUK
@mhclg
let this happen? Why NO effective action even after 72 lives lost?

"A former Conservative minister, once at the heart of efforts to clamp down on money laundering in London, has revealed that during Theresa May’s premiership, No 10 “leant on him” when he tabled amendments to introduce a public register of overseas property owners."

They shouldn't be allowed to destroy historic doors. A simple locksmith would have got them in in half the time and zero damage. I trust they pay for the damage.
@HackneyAbbott
I do know older people who use it, who really want to use the right word and I have to tell them. Those people are genuinely trying *not* to offend.
I keep tweeting about it because the
#FireSafetyScandal
exposed by
#Grenfell
is an absolute outrage. Not only are buildings still not safe, but
@govuk
is trying to make millions of innocent ppl pay astronomical costs to mitigate, fix, & insure the death-trap buildings IT allowed.
@squeezyjohn
I think so, especially considering that
@GOVUK
is now trying to limit the industry's liabilities to 2bn, while having legislated to make their victims pay the other c48bn of the costs of this scandal. But where are
@metpoliceuk
, asleep at the wheel?
This is beyond distasteful.
@LibDems
please withdraw your candidate
@SamGyimah
from Kensington. His ignorance and sickening attack on
#Grenfell
MP the excellent
@emmadentcoad
is unacceptable. This man is unfit to stand here.
@sussex_police
@FiLiA_charity
@Womans_Place_UK
If it's threatening or intimidating, or there is hate speech, you need to clear it. It sounds like public order offences at least. Please do not stand by.
Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe - "I don't agree with Richard on thanking the Foreign Secretary, because I have seen 5 Foreign Secretaries over the course of the 6 years.. I was told many times that we're going to get you home, but that never happened.. I'm not going to even trust you"
I want to see the headline 'Goverment apologises for
#BuildingSafetyScandal
, will remediate and compensate all. Minister sacked, corruption inquiry launched, and
@mhclg
in special measures".
@bindelj
Thank you, it was. Not just "within eyeshot", but at the Wall of Truth - a memorial, a place of reflection, and a place integral to the aftermath. Site too of the monthly silent walk. So upset about this.
@justinmadders
@carolecadwalla
What I don't get is how come
@didoharding
has no shame? I would resign and say sorry and never leave the house again if that was me, but no, she's hungry for more! How does she look herself in the eye? Seriously, she can't be morally barren can she?
@RishiSunak
@PassageCharity
How about paying workers a living wage in the first place? Or didn't you think of that? Too busy pandering to party donors is it?
Here's some constructive feedback,
@Girlguiding
: What just happened demonstrates that you don't take concerns seriously, and that safeguarding is definitely not your priority. This statement therefore lacks credibility. Where is your apology?
@stellacreasy
@LabWomenDec
Life of Brian is a great film, but it seems here like you are mocking women and the groups who represent women's interests. I'm sure that's not what you meant to do is it?
@FelicityBuchan
Have you forgotten you voted AGAINST implementing
@grenfellinquiry
Phase 1 recommendations? We haven't.
So don't pretend that you want them to be implemented, it won't wash. Yesterday you voted to protect
@Conservatives
donors in the industry by forcing costs onto leaseholders.
@JackieDP
This is embarrassing for the
@Commonswomequ
, and harmful to women. The
@fairplaywomen
thread shows this so clearly. Can the WESC please think again and maybe re-read the submissions?
Anyone else finding this, from Rock Feilding-Mellen, deeply offensive and upsetting? Not seeing one ounce of insight into how his actions contributed, or remorse for how he treated people. So much for his "humble pie".
Laura Johnson at
@GrenfellInquiry
: The council has not spent any money on maintaining the building in over 30 years". Thirty years. Just think about that. Isn't that illegal?
@EOCS_Official
@FelicityBuchan
Felicity Buchan tried to hide behind her constituents in the
#Grenfell
community to justify her actions yesterday. For the avoidance of doubt, she received representations from our community to support yesterdays' amendments. She knew and ignored our views and wishes.
Shocking statement from KCTMO at
@grenfellinquiry
: "TMO was no worse than any other housing body?"
In other words, "how awful we were and abusing people like we did was ok because everyone else was doing it"? Disgraceful.
Am I correct to say, that under
@RobertJenrick
,
@mhclg
is essentially non-functioning? I mean, we knew it was dysfunctional before, but these days they seem to have given up the ghost altogether...
If
@theresa_may
@sajidjavid
@GOVUK
had admitted on 14th June 2017 what we now know - that
@mhclg
knew about the dangers of flammable cladding since 2004, and that they would try to force innocent homeowners across UK to bear the cost of mitigating and remediating...
Profound sense of betrayal among residents here in North Ken after last night's
#Grenfell
vote by
@FelicityBuchan
and
@RobertJenrick
. "It means they were lying to us all along from the start."
Developers paid a lot of money to
@Conservatives
so that
@RobertJenrick
and
@mhclg
would let them carry on building dangerous defective homes....which they now can't sell, because their own practices have destroyed the market. New build sales down 92% Doh!
Another mess
@mhclg
have created. Well, good if it affects the profits of the developers who refuse to pay for the remediation of their unsafe buildings.
#BuildingSafetyCrisis
@RBKC
Note the school is passively "being built".
No mention of who it's "being built" BY - ie
@RBKC
.
This institutional unaccountability is unacceptable. It's your school, you're building it, you carry the can.
@LostInSW19
@FelicityBuchan
One more to add to that list:
✖️ You are NOT representing the views or wishes of the
#Grenfell
community, or supporting our efforts for justice: you are doing the exact opposite.
No-one who has partaken, facilitated or benefited from the undermining and degradation of our democracy in the last 10 years has any right to speak about the implications of today for our democracy.
Thinking of everyone in the
#Grenfell
Immediate Community who was brutalised, neglected, let down and failed by
@luhc
@RBKC
@CNWLNHS
and CCG statutory bodies that received millions and we should have had a right to trust. Especially those who did not survive it. You are missed.
No-one who has partaken, facilitated or benefited from the hatred, toxicity and cruelty of our government of the last 10 years has any right to bemoan hatred and toxicity in politics today.

@team_greenhalgh
@ballymore
You are the
@GOVUK
, the Ministry of Housing, and yet you're still begging your
@Conservatives
Party donors not to expose the public to mortal danger? Not good enough. You just gave them carte blanche to extort unlimited costs from their victims. Come on. Do better.
A very good point: Leaseholders don't own the external walls. So
@team_greenhalgh
@RobertJenrick
@mhclg
how can they be asked to pay? This is irregular as well as unjust. What is going on?
Leaseholders don't own the external walls of the very buildings they're being sent ruinous bills for.
For Shared Owners, there's the additional unjust of being billed 100% regardless.
@mhclg
, it's abhorrent.

"I fought this battle for a couple of years," says former housing secretary Robert Jenrick on who pays to change cladding, "the Treasury... is simply not willing to do that"
Thousands of flat owners are facing large bills to change cladding
#PoliticsLive
How is it that
@grenfellinquiry
did not uncover this? And how is it that, evidence having been deleted, Boris Johnson was not required to give evidence in person?
@MarkFisherCO
can you answer this?
The IOPC found that “the material stored in digital devices, email accounts and computer drives belonging to Mr Johnson while Mayor and his appointees was deleted when he left office in 2016.” City Hall guidance says they should have been transferred to executive officers
@didoharding
@NHSTestTrace
I thought teachers were being made to do the unreliable lateral flow tests for free, while you give your £37billion to Serco Test and Trace, to do....what?
This ALL needs to be reimbursed
@michaelgove
, since it is the result of
@GOVUK
@luhc
actions and inactions. Absolutely scandalous to allow this grotesque extortion.
£6000 a week on waking watch. What inflated costs! Around £200 per leaseholder per month extra. Gosh
@team_greenhalgh
the exploitation does not end. On top of that our further remediation bills due in January. My service charge now will be around £600.
@michaelgove
@RobertJenrick
@TaylorWimpeyplc
Does this mean
@TaylorWimpeyplc
Will fully remediate every defective building it has built? And pay for mitigating the risk in the interim? And fully compensate the resident for costs incurred thus far? Like a construction company ought to by default?
Hold on, aren't *you* building this school? Why would you need an investigation to find out why you are doing what you're doing? Shouldn't you already know this?
The Council has launched an internal investigation to understand why contractors are using Kingspan products at a new school being built in the borough.
We understand the anger and concerns this will cause in our communities and we are determined to get answers urgently.
@michaelgove
Maybe Labour don't want to rip up environmental protections at the behest of an industry which has already killed 72 people and ruined 0000s of lives nationwide. Your 100k homes, they'll be safe and not defective, will they?
#SystemicRegulatoryFailure
Before
#Grenfell
I had no idea of quite how rotten everything was: politics, the media, the professions, public morality, the total disregard for human life. I had a bad feeling, sure, but the scale of the lying, the cruelty, the deception and the bad faith shocked me.
