Are there any depths that Kensington Council won’t stoop to?

Forcing survivors to sign waivers in return for emergency payments is pretty damn fucking low.

Who said that?

I’ve no doubt that the local Tories will see an opportunity to banish the survivors and replace them with a new, gentrified apartment complex.

Do you honestly think that wouldn’t happen here .

Course it would but our rich lads are smarter than to say it, we haven’t yet gone to the levels of complete class separation that they have. Whatever about thinking something like that to actually say it out load is some sick shit

Diane Abbott was on Any Questions? last night. She did ok and seems to be over her recent health scare/wobble.

Paul Mason eviscerated the Blairites at the Progress conference today

“If you want a party that’s in favour of illegal war and privatisation, then form it and get on with it.”

He sounds like a right prick in that article.

“I staked my reputation on the idea that we could win,” said Paul. Well Paul - does that mean your reputation is in tatters?

Imagine having a policy to “relax fire safety rules” in schools in the first place.

Pity that attitudes to regulation only ever change after catastrophes.

Controversial government proposals to relax fire safety standards for new school buildings as a cost-cutting measure are to be dropped by ministers in a major policy U-turn following the Grenfell Tower fire.

The move is evidence of a dramatic change of approach across government, from a previous preoccupation with deregulation and cost-saving to a safety-first attitude, in the aftermath of the west London tower block tragedy.


Across government, ministers have been ordered to look again at fire safety policies in their departments. An urgent rethink has been under way at the Department for Education, which had begun a consultation on official new draft guidance on fire safety in schools last year that was widely seen as a substantial watering down of safety requirements.

Fire safety experts, backed by senior MPs, expressed deep alarm over the past year at the plans and warned ministers repeatedly that they could have disastrous results.

Part of the revised draft guidance – which the Observer has learned will now be dropped – removed the requirement that sprinklers be included in the design of new schools and stated, instead, that “school buildings do not need to be sprinkler protected to achieve a reasonable standard of life safety”. It also said it “no longer includes an expectation that most new school buildings will be fitted with them”.

In a letter to schools minister Nick Gibb last August, London fire commissioner Ron Dobson said such changes could have “potentially devastating consequences”.

A deal has finally been agreed between the economically illiterate, terror-supporting dinosaurs and the DUP.

It looks really bad for the DUP to be getting into bed with such a toxic party.

Amazingly £1 billion has been found by May to bribe the DUP. So much for the money tree.
