The Tory government, Kensington and Chelsea council and cladding bosses ‘all contributed’ to the disaster The Grenfell inquiry’s final report paints a detailed picture of the corruption, greed and lies that murdered the 72 residents of the west London tower block.

The report into the 2017 fire, published on Wednesday, highlights who’s guilty. “The simple truth is that the deaths that occurred were all avoidable and those who died in the fire were failed over a number of years and in a number of ways,” it says.

The Tory government, Chelsea and Kensington Borough council, the Tenant Management Organisation (TMO) and building bosses all have blood on their hands.

Inquiry chair Martin Moore-Bick said that all “contributed in one way or another”. He added that it was mostly through “incompetence”, but also through “dishonestly and greed”.

A word from Squid:

Apologies for mainly posting news from my affiliated party. As a member, it’s difficult to find stories from other groups like the SWP, RCP, and so on. I will make an extra effort to post from more sources, as I don’t believe focusing on a single party aligns with our ideals.

The 1917 revolution in Russia was not solely born from the Bolsheviks, but from many socialists, anarchists, libertarians, and non-political workers. In this way, I hope to help members of our federverse find a place for themselves—whether with the SP, SWP, RCP, or even unions and smaller groups.

It’s all well and good to be a socialist online and in our homes, but what difference can we make with all this knowledge if there’s no action?

I also hope this does not take away from the article above that has been written SWP.

All the best and solidarity.
Squid
