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
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 😆
Tomorrow, alongside Stand Up to Racism - Scotland and anti-racist stalwarts throughout Scotland, we will make clear that fascism has no place on our streets. Join us.

#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/…
