SKWAWKBOX

In August, Theresa May told Grenfell campaigners and neighbours that KCTMO, the “tenants’ management organisation” with responsibility for the Lancaster West estate on which Grenfell Tower once housed so many people and for other, neighbouring estates, would no longer manage Lancaster West.

You won’t believe how the Tories screwed up ‘Tory Momentum’ launch —

You really couldn’t make this up. Seriously. After getting their social media behinds kicked by Jeremy Corbyn and his supporters during the General Election campaign, the Tories decided – as Tories do – that they needed their own ‘grass-roots’ social media presence. So, being Tories, they decided to buy one, by setting up a ‘professional’, official […]
