Just been up there - apparently they've been told to be out by the end of January, after 44 years. They're fighting hard, and really want people to sign this petition. Please spread it wide!

This stuff is honestly so far gone now, it would take a political generation to rebuild. And none of the incentives in British politics are taking us that way.
At some point, for the love of God, will someone ANYONE at long last take the council funding crisis seriously?!?
Because THIS is what will break down a society, not some poor soul escaping incredible dangers, arriving on our shores.

I prosecute and defend the most serious sexual offences in our courts.
The overwhelming majority of offenders are British-born. Overwhelmingly the victim is someone known to them, either a partner or relative.
Anybody purporting to care about protecting women might start there.

THIS DAY in 2017, The Grenfell Tower in London caught fire.
We rediscovered heroes in our midst.
My partner's son decided to become a firefighter on this day. Not despite seeing thiese images of exhaustion, but because of them.

Eight years on we remember those who tragically died and all who were affected by the Grenfell Tower fire.
As always on the anniversary, our thoughts are also with the emergency services on scene and in the control room that day.

At Grenfell I laid a wreath in memory of the 72 people who tragically lost their lives—and all those whose lives were changed forever by the horrific Grenfell Tower fire.
Eight years on and the road to justice and change has been far too long.
