Will the victims of Grenfell ever get justice?
Following a scathing review of the Grenfell Tower fire, Nick asks whether anyone will now be held accountable.
A scathing report from the public inquiry into the Grenfell Tower fire has concluded that all 72 deaths were avoidable 鈥 but were the result of a chain of failures by governments, "dishonest" companies and a lack of strategy by the fire service.
Nick assesses whether anyone will now be held accountable 鈥 and whether this might be the moment that substandard social housing becomes a major political issue.
He鈥檚 joined by Emma Dent Coad, the former Labour MP for Kensington who had just been elected to represent Grenfell constituents at the time of the fire, to reflect on that morning and the subsequent campaign for justice.
And Nick and Amol also speak to Today sports presenter Garry Richardson ahead of his final programme, fifty years to the day he joined the 大象传媒.
