This powerful piece by @Lees_Martina reconstructs the horrifying tragedy of Grenfell & explains why, 5 years on, 640k people still live in flammable flats & up to 4.2million are trapped in #claddingscandal created by govt failures, corporate wrongdoing & regulatory incompetence.

When you read the painful details of the multiple failures which led to tragedy of Grenfell, & when you have personally experienced the fallout as millions of us have, it’s been very hard to believe that we live in a country, properly regulated, that values people over profits.

I want to thank those journalists who have kept asking questions, supporting Grenfell families who still wait for justice, & those millions trapped in the #claddingscandal. Without you, this would have vanished from public sight, esp @PeteApps @insidehousing @Lees_Martina.

💚 #Grenfell 5th anniversary of the fire is this Tuesday.
