Decades of failures turned Grenfell Tower into a 'death trap,' report says
Briefly

"The public inquiry into the 2017 blaze found no 'single cause' of the tragedy, but said a combination of dishonest companies, weak regulators, and complacent government turned Grenfell Tower into a 'death trap.'"
"The deaths were avoidable and all contributed to it in one way or another, in most cases through incompetence but in some cases through dishonesty and greed," stated inquiry head retired Judge Martin Moore-Bick.
Prime Minister Keir Starmer remarked, 'Today is a long-awaited day for truth but it must now lead to a day of justice,' highlighting the urgency for accountability following the tragedy.
Survivor Natasha Elcock emphasized, 'We paid the price for systematic dishonesty, institutional indifference and neglect,' pointing to the broader failures that led to the Grenfell Tower disaster.
