The Grenfell Tower fire was an entirely preventable tragedy. As today's final Inquiry report details, central government allowed corporate profits to be prioritised over human life. We will never forget the 72 lives lost. Matt Wrack on LBC today

Firefighters and campaigners warned about the risk of flammable cladding as far back as 1999. They went ignored by those in power. Politicians continued to put profits before safety. Matt Wrack responds to the GTI report on BBC News channel

Politicians have ripped up fire safety regulations while fragmenting and cutting the fire service. This is a recipe for disaster. To implement lessons learned, we need national fire service standards. Matt Wrack on Sky News today

In the years leading up to the Grenfell Tower fire, Westminster boasted of a 'bonfire' of building regulations. For decades, politicians have allowed corporate greed to turn safe homes into potential death traps. Deregulation costs lives. Matt Wrack on BBC Breakfast

Seven years after the Grenfell Tower disaster, thousands of buildings are still covered in dangerous cladding. We need action on the building safety crisis, and firefighters must be given the resources they need. Lessons must be learned. Matt Wrack on Good Morning Britain
