London's Grenfell inferno was 'culmination of decades of failure' by U.K.'s construction industry and government
Briefly

The report condemns the government, construction industry, and building material firms for decades of negligence and 'systematic dishonesty,' which facilitated the Grenfell Tower tragedy.
The inquiry reveals that the fire's rapid spread was due to highly combustible cladding, with the report emphasizing that firms misled testing processes to prioritize profit over safety.
The London Fire Brigade was criticized for its complacency, failing to share crucial information about the dangers of cladding and neglecting lessons from prior fires, resulting in ineffective response.
Emergency services advised residents to stay-put during the fire, a decision now regarded as a catastrophic error that compounded the disaster’s loss of life.
