Our statement following the publication of the Grenfell criminal investigation timeline today 💚
⏳ It's now nearly 11 months since Labour promised funding for buildings under 11m.
The details have still not been published.
With every day that passes, more ordinary people face financial ruin.
Another broken promise.
Nine years since Grenfell.
Keir Starmer said its legacy would be one of the defining changes of his premiership.
That promise has not been kept.
Hundreds of thousands remain trapped in unsafe, unsellable homes.
We are asking for an urgent meeting.
Read our letter ⬇️
9 years since Grenfell.
Today, and every day, we remember the 72 lives lost.
We stand with the bereaved, survivors and residents in their fight for truth, accountability and lasting change.
Join @grenfellunited.bsky.social today at 6pm, Notting Hill Methodist Church to demand justice 💚
Ahead of the ninth anniversary of the Grenfell Tower fire on 14th June, we have written to Keir Starmer asking him to intervene personally to resolve the cladding and building safety crisis.
The Remediation Bill is too little, too late.
A piecemeal approach won't help leaseholders trapped in unsafe, unsellable homes - or deliver the change Labour promised.
We need decisive action, not more half-measures.
“Trapped and overwhelmed… no end in sight.”
5+ years in limbo. Another example of the failing Developer Remediation Contract and lack of grip.
Ministers and senior officials offer warm words while searching for excuses not to do the right thing.
And they call this "change”?

"Two big companies tasked with keeping people safe and housing people have not put residents first. It's embarrassing."

The bill is silent on the key issues Labour spoke so strongly about in opposition: non-cladding defects, non-qualifying leaseholders, the failing Developer Contract, weak risk assessment standards, extortionate buildings insurance & shared ownership.

🗨️ "Being trapped isn't necessary just a physical thing. There is a financial entrapment, there is a mental entrapment, there is an emotional entrapment to this. I am absolutely furious about it."

End Our Cladding Scandal
High service charges and fire safety issues leave many in Stratford's East Village unable to sell up.
Inside Housing columnist Jules Birch analyses the key policy takeaways for the social housing sector from the announcements in this week’s King’s Speech.
Nearly 8 months since Labour promised funding for buildings under 11m.
Details due last September. Still missing. ⏳
Meanwhile leaseholders in “low-rise” blocks are getting life-changing bills for problems they didn’t cause.
History repeating itself.
Change? What change?
Leaseholders of a London development have seen the value of their flats fall by £100,000 due to a five-year delay in the removal of unsafe cladding from the building’s external walls
