Today marks nine years since the tragic fire at Grenfell Tower.
The 72 residents who tragically lost their lives will never be forgotten and my thoughts are with the survivors, bereaved families and all those affected.

For too long, too many communities have felt ignored.
We should all take pride in where we live, and that’s why investment must reach every part of the country.

Just because someone rents, shouldn't deny them the joy of having a pet in their life. Well done housemate.

We are entering a new era of social housing. Landlords will have the power to evict domestic abuse perpetrators so victims can safely stay in their homes and communities. We are overhauling the Right to Buy system to protect social housing stock for everybody.

Today marks the biggest shake-up of renters’ rights in a generation. The Renters’ Rights Act:
✅ends Section 21 evictions
✅limits rent rises to once a year
✅bans bidding wars
✅and stops discrimination against families, benefit claimants and pet owners.

Yesterday’s terror attack wasn’t an isolated incident, it was the latest attack on the Jewish community for being Jewish.
Today I spoke with volunteers, first responders from Shomrim and Hatzola to thank them for their bravery.
I know that this is a deeply worrying time for the whole community.
My government is taking immediate action.
We’ve increased enhanced funding for police patrols and protective security and we’re fast-tracking legislation to deal with malign state actors.
My message to Jewish people is this: you belong here, and we will do everything we can to keep you safe.

The terrorist attack in Golders Green was abhorrent.
An extra £25 million will be invested to increase police patrols and security to help keep Jewish communities safe.
We will now fast track legislation so we can further combat the activities of malign state-sponsored groups.

The incident in Golders Green is extremely concerning and my thoughts are with the people affected and the wider Jewish community.
Antisemitic violence will not be tolerated in our country and we’ll continue to do everything we can to stamp it out.
