Today in Parliament Karen Buck MP laid bare the shocking reality of the parlous state of British Housing:

“We must await the Inquiry of the horror of Grenfell Tower, but what we do know is that resident’s were raising fire safety concerns about the cladding long before the fire. This cladding may have been unfit and hazardous – something surely was.

I’ve seen a family that have had to close off their two bedrooms because of the cold and damp, and all had to sleep in the living room.

I met a pensioner who has been to hospital twice in the last week with hypothermia because their flat was so cold…”

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
