1/6 Using MHCLG’s own estimates there are 8,000 >18 m buildings with cladding requiring an EWS1. Multiply that by the £2.2 million average full BSF funding per building awarded to date (£241.5m/106) gives an estimated cost of £18.23 billion. #EndOurCladdingScandal

2/6 While you’re thinking about that MHCLG, on Tuesday you estimated the Building Safety Bill will apply to 13,000 >18 metre buildings. Multiplying that by £2.27m per block gives £29.5 billion, or nearly 6 times what’s currently on offer.
3/6 Your estimate of buildings 11-18 metres with cladding requiring an EWS1 is 50,000. Assuming each costs 1/2 of a >18m building that’s £56.75 billion just on them. You may not have focussed on that because your planned #forcedloans dump that cost + interest on l-holders.
4/6 You can check my maths. Your EWS1 estimates are here: bit.ly/3obvggg and the BSF stats are here: bit.ly/3eIxL6p. Of course, the funding on offer only covers cladding costs on >18m buildings and it’s #NotJustCladding is it?
5/6 After you’ve done that, please explain why you *still* have not completed a national survey of affected buildings, 4 years after Grenfell. In fact, contrary to your second tweet, you’re not doing that survey at all. You’ve dumped it on everyone else via EWS-1.
6/6 So before taking us all for mugs and treating people’s homes like the object of a correspondence school marketing exercise, perhaps you’d care to look at your own (woefully inadequate) data before hurling bricks through that glass roof?
