UK PM Starmer calls for 'full accountability' on Grenfell disaster

UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer issued an apology from the British state to bereaved families and survivors of the Grenfell Tower scandal following the publication of a damning inquiry report.

He also demanded swift justice, including through the criminal courts, for those to blame for the catastrophic blaze in west London in June 2017 which claimed the lives of 72 people. The document, released on Wednesday, lays bare the inquiry’s findings around the actions of corporate firms in the construction industry, the local authority, London Fire Brigade and government.
