Tomorrow will be a landmark moment. At 11am the final report from the Grenfell Tower Inquiry will be released. I’m helping out with the news coverage all day, but there will be a 204th, and final, episode of the Grenfell Tower Inquiry Podcast on Friday bbc.co.uk/programmes/p06…

The final report from Grenfell Tower inquiry found the disaster was the culmination of ā€œdecades of failureā€ by governments and others in the construction industry. It sets out a ā€˜path to disaster’ stretching back to the early 1990s and criticises organisations at every level.

The Grenfell Inquiry report isn't just a story of a complacent government. Read it carefully and a story emerges of one which routinely covers up the truth unherd.com/newsroom/the-c…
