The survivors of the Grenfell fire have condemned “a deep and bitter injustice” that many of the officials criticised in the public inquiry in connection to the tragedy have continued working in related fields.

“We relive the pain every day. They are carrying on with life, careers intact, while we are still here – grieving, waiting and fighting for justice,” said a spokesperson for Grenfell United shortly before the eighth anniversary of the fire.
