My thoughts are with all those affected by the major fire incident in Dagenham. I thank London Fire Brigade & all emergency services on the ground for their bravery and swift response. I and Home Office Ministers are receiving updates on the incident from operational partners.

Thanks to Mehmet, manager at Whalebone McDonald’s, for the donation of happy meals for the children displaced by the Dagenham fire. The kind response of our local community has been fantastic. Well done Cllrs Glenda and Mukhtar Yusuf for coordinating.👇 facebook.com/share/p/PEJPLW…

Today I spoke with ITV following the Dagenham fire. We are seven years on from Grenfell and there is no reasonable excuse for unsafe cladding on residential blocks. Thankfully there was no loss of life but 80 households have been displaced and serious questions must now be asked.

This is a disgrace. Probably hiking prices to cover the £104m penalty being proposed by Ofwat. Thames Water 💧 have let the public down, now they’re trying to make us pay for their ‘severe mismanagement of wastewater treatment works’. Steve Reed MP Feargal Sharkey

I have contacted both the owner and management company of the Spectrum Building which was engulfed by fire on Monday. We know that London Fire Brigade had already raised concerns about fire safety and I am now calling for the facts to be made public.

With Keir Starmer as Prime Minister, this Labour Government will clean up the mess the Tories left behind.

Despite pledging in his election campaign to save Havering Council libraries, now elected, the MP for #Romford is remarkably silent and it falls to our trade unions and Romford Labour Party to fight for what matters in the community. 🌹✊
