  • Speaking to Politics Hub With Sophy Ridge, chef Tom Kerridge warns budget tax rises will have a "catastrophic" impact on businesses. Meanwhile, the PM makes what Sky's Sam Coates says will be "one of the biggest decisions" of his tenure.

The UK government is considering imposing jail sentences on landlords and developers who fail to meet deadlines for removing dangerous cladding from buildings, as stated by Housing Secretary Michael Gove. This follows the Grenfell Tower tragedy, which highlighted the risks of flammable cladding. Gove emphasized that while the primary focus is on ensuring safety and remediation, criminal sanctions could be applied if there is a deliberate refusal to comply with the new regulations. The government has set a deadline for developers to sign a contract committing to fix unsafe buildings by March 13, with potential penalties including unlimited fines or imprisonment for up to two years for non-compliance. This approach aims to enforce accountability and ensure the safety of residents in high-rise buildings.
