Hi if you live in West Thamesmead this message is for you! I'm Steve Day the local Liberal Democrat candidate for West Thamesmead. It's our by-election on Thursday 19th Dec, so thought I'd introduce myself and what I stand for. #JournoRequest @greenwich_wire

With appalling life endangering defect rates in blocks of flats, a partial remediation standard condemning people to permanently high insurance and the need for consumer protection against building defects that operates outside of the courts as most of us can't afford 500k for a…

Grateful to the October 2025 briefing from the Association of British Insurers on the watered down PAS9980 building safety remediation standard which condemns innocent home owners to permanently high insurance allowing combustible material banned on new buildings to be retained…

The UK construction industry is broken, the government has limited the liability for 30 years of unlawful construction passing it onto flat owners, insurers, rating agencies and banks. With £432,000,000 worth of defects at just one development in London, 14,000 forced…

So even the insurers are warning that PAS9980 doesn’t protect buildings . That means homes remain risky and insurance stays sky-high. We urgently need proper consumer protection like the Earl of Lytton’s #PolluterPays Bill. @LibDemSteve

This what happens when elected politicians get involved with standards, both Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities and Home Office have their logos on #PAS9980.

The National Fire Chiefs Council (NFCC) and The Association of British Insurers have condemned the dangerous watered down PAS9980 remediation standard and the fragmented leaseholder protections which leaves 1.7 million exposed to ruinous remediation costs and millions more…

@NFCC_FireChiefs condemns government schemes to address post Grenfell building safety crisis. "Funding is fragmented and inconsistent. Current schemes often cover only cladding, which NFCC says is leaving other serious defects unaddressed. With multiple funding streams and…

Leaseholders were told remediation would fix everything — yet insurance stays unaffordable because PAS9980 isn’t fit for purpose. How many more years of anxiety before government listens and adopts #PolluterPays? @LibDemSteve

“...taxes are not raised to carry on wars, but that wars are raised to carry on taxes” - Thomas Paine (1737 - 1809)

The cost of non compliance in construction! If the construction industry built high risk buildings properly instead of cutting corners we wouldn't be in the mess we are in now. We need a new approach, the Earl of Lytton's buildingsafetyscheme.org consumer protection…

Grateful to the The Fire Protection Association for covering our amendment to the Planning and Infrastructure Bill. We need to end the PAS9980 watered down remediation standard that condemns people to permanently high insurance post remediation and ensure all 1.7 million non…

Grateful to the @NRLAssociation for supporting our five year battle to ensure all leaseholders are protected from ruinous remediation costs. nrla.org.uk/news/high-cour… The construction industry caused these appalling defect rates in buildings. The consumer or the tax payer should…

Lord Gove misleading the House that the 1.7 million excluded leaseholders like Amanda Walker are made up of wealthy investors. 1.3 million of that figure are in under 11m/enfranchised and not investors and I'd question the other figure too, as some invest instead of building a…

Big Vote in parliament today on an amendment to the Planning and Infrastructure Bill to prevent developers getting planning permission if they don't remediate all their buildings to the "relevant defect" remediation standard. This will eliminate the partial PAS9980 remediations…
