CAMPAIGNERS told Labour to “get a grip” of the building safety crisis today after ministers failed to announce a timeline for fixing death trap structures.

It comes after the final inquiry report into the Grenfell fire blamed the blaze on “decades of failure” by the government and construction industry bosses to address the risks of combustible materials in high-rise buildings. 

Deputy prime minister Angela Rayner told BBC breakfast yesterday that she is “astonished” at how many buildings with unsafe cladding are waiting for remediation work.
