Sir Keir Starmer expressed frustration multiple times during the interview, emphasizing the need for swift action over building safety and the importance of holding relevant parties accountable for their negligence in the Grenfell Tower tragedy.
Former housing secretary Michael Gove acknowledged the government's failures in preventing the Grenfell disaster. He has offered an apology to victims and stated there was a lack of urgency in addressing cladding safety concerns.
Starmer noted that housing safety concerns were repeatedly ignored by successive governments, reflecting a failure to act responsibly. He urged building owners to expedite necessary safety measures to protect residents in unsafe buildings.
The inquiry found that manufacturers were aware of the dangers posed by the cladding used but chose to conceal these risks, allowing unsafe practices to continue unchecked prior to the tragedy.
