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.

Successive governments have disregarded fire safety. That came in the form of failing to properly regulate and cuts to fire services. Today’s report has shown that construction companies have endangered lives and government has failed to protect residents.

On this day in 1982, firefighters Tony Hall and John Donley died when their fire engine overturned while on their way to an incident. #WeRemember

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.
