I'll be in Glasgow on Saturday speaking about the importance of working-class unity. We will never let the racists divide us.

The final report of the Grenfell Tower Inquiry has now been published. On this day, we remember the 72 lives lost. This report demonstrates beyond doubt that an agenda of deregulation cost lives. We share the grief and anger of the bereaved, survivors and residents.

The Grenfell inquiry shows residents and first responders were failed by construction firms, central government, and the London Fire Brigade's management. We've consistently highlighted the risks of cladding since 1999, and we will continue to do so today.

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

Despite the damning report, cladding fires continue to threaten lives, and justice has not been done. Matt Wrack demands a radical overhaul of building safety regulations and public ownership of the inspection system ow.ly/8R7a50TgeeR

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

For years, we've warned that deregulation would leave buildings and the public unsafe. The Grenfell Tower fire exposed the tragic consequences of ignoring our warnings. Government must listen and act to prevent another disaster.

We’ve been working with UNITY Consulting Scotland for the last couple of years and they’ve been a huge help to us in so many areas. Committed trade unionists and socialists, knowledgeable and capable and easy to work with. And a good laugh 😆

Please take 10 minutes to watch this. Reported in Israeli press but not in ours. Another horrific example of the way this psychotic regime sees Palestinians as sub-human. Torture and rape being vociferously defended by politicians, with the soldier being a guest on talk shows.

#OtD 7 Sep 1934 anti-fascists hung a banner atop the BBC, advertising a counter-rally against Oswald Mosley and his British Union of Fascists. The BBC had Mosley on to promote his Nazi views and rally. Even so, over 100,000 locals drove out the fascist stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/10756/…
