Tory Policy? It's fallen steadily with every Govt or coalition. Here's a statistic to wind you up, Margaret Thatcher built more council houses in one year than New labour did in their whole period in power.
Another cladding fire?

lets see the numbers for social housing then
The post and my reply specifically referred to the numbers of council houses built by respective Governments.

Of course it's not meaningless, it's tracked the building records of respective governments. You need help with this fixation of yours that anything that doesn't align itself with your way of thinking is automatically a lie, meaningless or part of some right wing conspiracy.

Good ol' Johnny boy loves to jump the gun with the sensationalist copy-pasta.
Does anyone apart for JD actually know if the issue was the cladding or the insulation behind it? It's interesting how the "flammable" cladding below the top floor is not burnt. Funny dat.

which side of the building are you looking at?
Fire normally burns upwards, not downwards ,
That's heat.
Fire spreads all ways, especially if so called highly flammable material is all around it
The side with a neat line between burnt 6th and not burnt 5th floors.

It cratered from 1979 to the Major years . New labour was implementing a very neo liberal policy.
It was bad policy under the Tories and not reversed but continued under Blair.
Crap policies are crap policies, shame you defend silly Tory policies with mental gymnastics that even an olympic winner would be jealous of.

Ah, you mean like the Lakenhal fire went downwards.
Ooops, no it didn't.
Check your facts. Lakenhal had nothing to do with cladding. Do keep OT.Ah, you mean like the Lakenhal fire went downwards.

"Incorrect rating
But from the industry’s point of view, the inquest uncovered alarming evidence. The key issue was the installation of spandrel panels in the replacement window assemblies that were not rated Class 0 for surface spread of fire, as required by Part B of the Building Regulations. (Table 40 requires that all materials installed on buildings above a height of 18m must be Class 0.) The panels were able to ignite, burn through in less than five minutes and then introduce a flame source into Flat 79 an estimated 15 minutes after a television in Flat 65 caught fire.
The expert analysis of the fire came from Dr David Crowder of BRE Global, which has a contract with the Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG) to investigate serious fires. Crowder later told CM: “Had a Class 0 panel been installed, I wouldn’t have expected that panel to have sustained flaming and allow the flame to pass through. If the recommendations in Approved Document B had been followed, this wouldn’t have happened.”"

"In July 2017, a month after the Grenfell Tower fire that killed 72 people, the shadow housing secretary, John Healey, was among those calling on the government to widen its testing regime beyond Grenfell-style cladding. The then housing secretary, Sajid Javid, replied that it was important to prioritise, but that did not “preclude tests on other types of cladding”. Yet it was not until April 2019 that tests on HPL began.
“It was always implausible that it was only this specific type of cladding that was at fault when the whole system of building safety checks had been exposed as failing, but ministers refused to act,” said Healey. “The government still hasn’t passed the legislation needed to overhaul the high-rise fire safety system.”"
