The Grenfell fire did not happen in a vacuum.
It happened after decades of neglect and prejudice against social housing tenants. I grew up in Council housing. It was people like me – 72 beautiful souls – who perished in the Grenfell fire four years ago.
Grenfell Tower was a reminder that we need to change course and put social housing on the agenda again. Unfortunately, the Tory government is not listening.
We will never forget Grenfell. However, we continue to wait for justice for the victims of Grenfell. Justice delayed is justice denied.
