Did anyone else know that Tesco was into housebuilding?

I hope this group is looked into in the enquiry.

They don't appear to have been doing their job.

I am sure I remember the government saying it would help with costs.

How does Brexit affect the pressure on housing?

There are some things that are intrinsically bad ideas. Residential tower blocks is one, Building a runway for Heathrow over the M25 is another.
The pressure on housing is horrendous and was one of the reasons for the Brexit vote.

Angry scenes at this meeting.

It took Mayhem a long time to see sense about this.

A woman from the tower block was interviewed this morning, she complained they have fire wardens but they don't speak English

Even more problems in tower blocks in London.

If there will be charges over the cladding on the tower there every council must be charged for using the same cladding.

How can the DPP say what the sentence will be when 1. There has yet been no charges. 2. A jury would have to return a guilty verdict. 3. The judge will decide the punishment

There has to be culpability
The buck must stop somewhere

Sounds like you are all in agreement for once.

You know, your posts could really do with a few 'socially aware' lessons durhamjen ......then you may find out how to talk to people without giving offence, it seems to be a failing of yours.

Some people are really sick.

Sorry, stating.

Staing the bleeding obvious in your first sentence , roses.

There has to be culpability if there is culpability......it will come out.
The local council should have addressed concerns by residents over things like piled up rubbish in stairwells and so on, but if as seems likely now, they find that the cladding was used by councils and others up and down the country and that it met with fire safety requirements at the time then I don't see anybody being prosecuted.
Testing being carried out now on cladding is much more stringent.

Yes, it is. At last the DPP has said that there might be prosecutions of individuals.
The buck must stop somewhere.

That's good news isn't it. There has to be culpability and I hope that knowing anyone charged and found guilty being justly dealt with will bring some peace to the victims of this terrible tragedy. Thanks for the link dj.

This man bought houses in his children's names in London. He has been disqualified from being Prime Minister of Pakistan. His brother has been elected as the new one.
I wonder how many houses he will have been found to own.

English Votes for English Laws.
In parliament the Scottish, Irish and the Welsh are not allowed to vote on laws that only concern the English.

What's EVEL - sorry for my ignorance. I am interested in the topic but not knowledgeable with regard to housing

We do try, paddyann. We didn't want EVEL either. We'd much rather have all the support we can get from the other parts of the UK.
But look how that turned out with the DUP.
