A rant about #boltonfire
So they've come out and said that the cladding was categorically not the same as Grenfell.

That's the great thing about words though. It probably isn't the same. I can buy a pack of chocolate bourbons from Tesco, and a pack of chocolate bourbons from Aldi, and I can assure you my toddler will insist they are not the fucking same.
But they are same aren't they? In reality, it's still chocolately biscuit heaven. It tastes the same. It looks the same. If I set it on fire, it burns the fucking same.
Devastating to see images of such quick fire spread last night in #Bolton. It brings back memories of #Grenfell & we can't believe that over 2.5 years later this is happening. Our hearts go out to all the students affected. 1/3
After #Grenfell people across the country rallied for us & Bolton held a silent walk for us, it meant so much to us. Today we stand with you. We will help in anyway we can. 💚💚 2/3

We need answers & urgent action from @10DowningStreet & @mhclg. Ppl must feel safe in their homes. 100s of ppl go to bed scared every night in buildings covered in dangerous materials. When will this be treated as a national emergency?! This cannot go on! #demandchange 3/3

In a week where British political parties seem to be pledging billions, why are 17,000 households in Britain *still* living with dangerous flammable cladding - where are the pledges to fix this crisis, & fast?

“There is an extreme level of anxiety. There are elderly people, people with babies, who are constantly worried about what happens if fire breaks out in the middle of the night..This has come at huge financial cost to all of us..People are reaching breaking point.”: @ukcag
2.5 years after Grenfell, there seems to be no urgency or appetite to resolve this #claddingscandal.
Last night, a new fire in Bolton at student accommodation. Thankfully it seems no serious injury.
What will it take to wake up this govt? @mhclg

#boltonfire is just a wall of fire, the cladding is just melting, people on the streets homeless.
Look at this story from Sept 2018, over a year ago, identifying
That just 8 of the 62 student towers rising over 18m & using material that officials said breached building regs have so far been completely fixed. Remediation plans were unclear for 23 of the towers.

There’s going to be all hell to pay for this.
I wonder if it was one of the ones identified?
