No political party or politician is perfect (or wholly awful, to be fair), and they shouldn't be treated as such.

We will know in due course why and how this happened and I expect it will prove that there has been failures at every level of government from both political parties stretching back years.The PM has already announced there will be a full and independent public enquiry so why the rush to regurgitate articles from a year ago about a proposed amendment to a housing bill as if this never would have happened if that amendment had passed. There seems to have been an almost giddiness in some circles to attribute blame as quickly as possible and paint it as Tories 100% at fault, Labour not at all. That's why all those articles that you have posted have gone viral and shared madly by Corbyn friendly journalists and websites but not many have been so keen to discuss times when Labour governments have loosened regulations and ignored concerns.
