The Grenfell Tower inquiry has reveals more details into how the disaster unfolded, from the first call to the Fire Brigade at 00.50 a.m., to how quickly the fire spread up the building and the devastating aftermath.
DEEP DIVE: Angela Rayner has been accused of ignoring the concerns of bereaved Grenfell families over plans to demolish the tower block where 72 people died.
Grenfell United claimed Ms Rayner 'refused to confirm how many bereaved and survivors' had been spoken to about demolishing the tower, saying she was ignoring their voices 'on the future of our loved ones' gravesite. 'Ignoring the voices of bereaved on the future of our loved ones' gravesite is disgraceful and unforgivable.'
Police and prosecutors said, in May last year, that investigators would need until the end of 2025 to complete their inquiry, with final decisions on potential criminal charges by the end of 2026 A Government spokesperson said: 'The priority for the Deputy Prime Minister is to meet with and write to the bereaved, survivors and the immediate community to let them know her decision on the future of the Grenfell Tower.
The fire - the worst residential blaze since the Blitz - triggered mass protests about building standards, following months of concerns from Grenfell Tower residents about safety following its refurbishment. Grenfell United said Sir Martin Moore-Bick's findings made it clear their lawyers were correct to tell the inquiry that corporate bodies, such as Kingspan, Celotex and Arconic, were 'little better than crooks and killers'.
