In the chaotic aftermath of the Grenfell fire, the response on the ground was disastrous and only served to reinforce the disconnect between authorities and institutions and the people they were in theory supposed to be serving.

We spoke to the Deputy Prime Minister, Angela Rayner to ask her what commitment she can give to the families of Grenfell victims that her government will implement the recommendations put forward in the Grenfell inquiry’s final report.

Angela Rayner has vowed to put pressure on developers to speed up the removal of dangerous cladding from more than two thousand buildings.
