Nine years on from the Grenfell Tower fire, the police investigation has concluded, and they have handed files to the CPS to decide whether 54 people and 20 organisations should face criminal charges, says crime and policing commentator Danny Shaw.

Imagine that "asked to consider criminal charges".

But they were quick to charge the people who lied about being tenants. What happened to the contractors? The sub contractors? The councillors? The mp's? The fire inspector? The building inspectors?

Corruption personified,under the gaze of liberal elites,including surveyors,planners,local authorities, and conniving politicians.This is life in modern Britain.Private equity run public services,energy,water,HMO housing,and obscene levels of executive salaries,while everyone else can’t afford to heat their home’s.

what a waste of time and resources that will end up in nothing... 9 year to find out that the water is wet... just wait for the corrupted justice system

A public enquiry is just another way to kick the can down the road.

Any time I hear that crap I know exactly what they are doing

Am I the only one who is sick to death of hearing about Grenfell?

This will go on for year and years and years to come. I don't expect any trials will begin until the 2030s....

How in the name of god is that even something that hasn’t happened already!
What a shambles of a country, where someone gets jailed in days for popping a dinghy or throwing an empty plastic bottle at a demonstration, but others can clad a tower block in incendiary cladding and nobody goes to prison!😡

Sorry It does seem there's a few panels or Quango's that might have missed out on the government money give away, so they need a bit more time to grab hold of it, before a facade of 'justice' can be carried out!
