'Based on my experience from being in Downing Street at the time, I think the state that we have is too passive, too relaxed, too siloed and too slow.' Tom Swarbrick diagnoses what he thinks went wrong with the handling of the Grenfell disaster.

My ITV analysis on the Grenfell report, a tragedy ultimately about power - about who has it and who doesn’t. In the sixth richest country in the world, in its capital city dripping with wealth, 72 people died because people with power didn’t do enough to stop it happening.

I'd like to pay tribute to tireless work of groups like End Our Cladding Scandal still hammering home 'urgent' lessons of Grenfell & make companies step up. People have already been waiting way too long to sleep quiet at night, knowing their building is safe. #BuildingSafetyCrisis

Read this thread by Tommy. It shows just how much money incompetent & morally bankrupt freeholders, insurers, manging agents & remediation companies are making by exploiting the #BuildingSafetyCrisis &the real harm caused every day to the victims. Angela Rayner Rushanara Ali MP 💙

The second former Prime Minister who has not bothered to read the executive summary or report. How many more want to disrespect us?! We’re noticing a pattern…
