The prime minister apologises 'on behalf of the British state' after a damning report points to 'decades of failure by central government'.
Sir Keir Starmer has said he is 'deeply sorry' for the actions of the British government after a damning report into the Grenfell Tower blaze said ministers 'failed to act', despite knowing the risk of building materials.
' Pointing to the report's conclusion that there had been 'decades of failure by central government' and that ministers' desire to cut so-called 'red tape' had 'dominated the department's thinking to such an extent that even matters affecting the safety of life were ignored, delayed or disregarded', Sir Keir said sorry.
