19th January 2023 JHLeave a comment

When will this government address the problems of damp and mould in housing, so starkly revealed by the coroner’s findings in the tragic death of two-year-old Awaab Ishack?

Just when you might have thought they’d secretly passed a law to ban it, we’ve finally seen the resignation of a government minister. Is it just a story about someone having an affair or does it say much more about this government? The former Health Secretary has enjoyed extraordinary power during his time in chargeContinue reading Kiss was tip of iceberg →
