Grenfell demolition means injustice is put ‘out of sight and out of mind’
A general view of Grenfell Tower, west London, after the government has announced the tower will be demolished, February 6, 2025

The government’s decision, shared with families at a private meeting on Wednesday evening, prompted anger and claims that the voices of many loved ones had been ignored.

Deputy Prime Minister and Housing Secretary Angela Rayner was met with gasps from a shocked room of mostly bereaved people, who felt there had not been enough consultation.
