Grenfell Tower: Angry families say justice has not been done after damning report
A damning report into the Grenfell Tower fire has found victims, bereaved and survivors were “badly failed” through incompetence, dishonesty and greed, as prime minister Sir Keir Starmer issued a state apology for a disaster he said should never have happened.
The long-awaited inquiry findings into the 2017 blaze which claimed the lives of 72 people concluded that each death was avoidable and had been preceded by “decades of failure” by government and the building industry to act on the dangers of flammable materials on high-rise buildings.
After the long-awaited document was published on Wednesday 4 September, families of the victims held a news conference in London.
One man described the pain he felt after seeing witnesses “laugh” as they gave evidence to the inquiry, adding that it did not “teach him anything” and delayed the justice his family deserves.
