THOSE responsible for the suffering of firefighters who battled the Grenfell Tower blaze must not be allowed to “drag their feet” any longer, lawyers representing the workers have demanded.

Social justice law firm Thompsons Solicitors marked today’s fifth anniversary of the deadly fire by highlighting that “no-one is yet willing to accept responsibility for the tragedy and the physical and psychological injuries” inflicted on survivors.

On behalf of the Fire Brigades Union, the firm is seeking a “just settlement” for more than 100 firefighters and emergency control staff who led the response to the inferno at the 24-storey west London tower block on June 14 2017, which killed 72 people.
