Haringey council failed to disclose thousands of fire safety fixes to the Regulator, including repairs to fire alarms, structural fire protections and external cladding.

9 years since Grenfell, and still nothing learned.

In 2023, the Regulator found that Haringey’s Labour-run council had “put thousands of tenants at potential risk by failing to meet health and safety requirements for fire and electrical safety”. In November 2025, the council informed the Regulator that it had resolved all outstanding high-risk fire safety issues.

Great work, right? Except it's turned out not to be true.

It's a busy news day, but this from Haringey is outrageous.

Today the Regulator of Social Housing published an inspection, and it turns out the previous Labour council seemingly misled them about thousands of fire-safety issues in local council housing.

How did Lula win the runoff? By winning over those who didn’t vote for him in round 1. His biggest gains came in places with more women, more white voters and more evangelicals. 🧵

@WilsonCodling Nope, just a small crack from the window in a bedroom I'm looking to paint. For once, I want to do the prep properly!

People who know these things: how necessary is it to use scrim tape if you're filling in a crack? Can I get away with just digging it out, coating with some peel stop, and then chucking the filler on top of that?

I understand why we journalists press Labour on their housing target - but IMO questioning why they won’t hit it & what they plan to do is now far more urgent:

- housebuilding in trouble because of rising costs and developers unwilling or unable to adjust their profit expectations…plus
- …younger buyers locked out so can’t buy their homes partly because of…
- fluctuating mortgage rates due to global volatility…
- and the fact nobody in their right mind wants a leasehold flat now (flats key to building at scale)

I USED TO PRAY FOR TIMES LIKE THIS

Is this what an erection feels like???

FUCK CHELSEA

@AndrewKersley @_TheLondoner TWELVE?!

@AndrewKersley @_TheLondoner ok but do they get together, or???

@TomGuytonDay Because human beings are fascinated by the macabre! The ritualistic treatment of the dead exists in every culture, and yet we can't get away from the urge to break the taboo.

Do ethical constraints degrade with the passage of time, or don't they? That's the question posed by the displays of mummies, and other human remains!

John Hunter acquired the cadaver of Charles Byrne against the man's express wishes. The people dissected by Hunter were overwhelmingly of the London poor. There's a question about whether, over time, scientific and historical interest 'wins out' over the wishes of the dead.

This is actually a much more interesting question than @IainDale gives it credit for! Like every goth-curious teenager who read Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, I loved going to the Hunterian museum. All those organs in jars! The bones of Charles Byrne! But...

I’ve been detained by the IDF, along with a group of rabbis & volunteers. We were simply harvesting olives in a grove near Nehalim in the West Bank.

The occupation is a crime under international law. Harvesting olives isn’t a crime under any law I know.

If none of the Jackdaw gas was exported, the most optimistic scenario has it meeting 2% of the UK’s annual gas demand over a 10 year period.
