The dark heart of this catastrophe lies in this simple, depressing narrative: the state stepped back, corporate greed stepped in and innocent people died. Bit by me for The Guardian: theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Grenfell United has called on Starmer and the police to 'deliver justice'. The campaign group of Grenfell survivors and bereaved families spoke today after the Grenfell inquiry was finally released adding 'we will never give up fighting for justice'.

A reminder of Lord Pickles' evidence to the Grenfell Inquiry from the time. Yesterday's report rejected his evidence that the deregulation drive he enthusiastically supported didn't play a role in the missed opportunities, saying this was "flatly contradicted" by other evidence

A passing thought that there are people out there who will be reading the inquiry report and quietly knowing they were on the right side of history, even though it made them unpopular, cost them opportunities and saw their views dismissed. If faced with the choice, be like them
