Grenfell Tower Inquiry Finds Fire Deaths Avoidable
News summary

The Grenfell Tower Inquiry's final report, released after seven years, concluded that the 72 deaths from the fire were completely avoidable, highlighting systemic failures and negligence across several government and corporate entities. The 1500-page document criticizes the construction industry for manipulating fire-safety testing and emphasizes that the disaster was a result of 'incompetence, dishonesty, and greed.' Inquiry chairman Sir Martin Moore-Bick noted that accountability must be addressed, but the report warns against a blame game that may leave victims feeling unavenged. Labour Prime Minister Keir Starmer, addressing Parliament, expressed sorrow and acknowledged the distinction between attaining truth through the report and achieving justice through potential prosecutions. Campaigners are now calling for legal accountability for those responsible, arguing that corporate and state shields must not protect them from repercussions. The report serves as a stark reminder of the failures in ensuring public safety in high-rise buildings and the urgent need for policy reform in the construction sector.
