Only the main points on the news...
It mentioned a whole host of factors that contributed to it. Starting with panels/company that made them and all of the other groups, people, companies involved in the towers construction. They have made a number of recommendation to avoid the same happening again. The fire brigade - more training.
I suspect he read the executive summary. 50 pages. The entire report is enormous.

Expect more now this government want to speed up the building of more blocks of flats, they want to make building them simpler, i.e., slacken rules and regulations.

It's not fair riding roughshod over objections to building large numbers of flats in small spaces.
Just an opinion, they need to build fast, how else can they build affordable homes quickly without cutting cost (corners)?
There are even more objection to building homes in roomy places.
Only one man has lost his job over this omnishambles - a firefighter. The fat cats who knew the cladding was unsafe and the politicians who allowed them to cut corners in construction get away with bad publicity for a while. Nothing changes.
Its a Tory (Conservative) thing. Poor old duffer is confused. The Con's slacken the rules - people die.
The BBC have listed severity of the problems on TV/Maybe a repeat on the web. Panel maker and honesty comes top and another severe is Con/Lib days deregulation. Labour ignoring warnings. Blame game between contractors. Others assumed to have checked. Architect singled out as no experience of cladding.. Used as doing work on another building.
Some of that from listening to the speech.
Firefighters. I didn't like the noises in Part 1. Someone should have told them that the building could go up like a torch. High rises like these aren't really designed for evacuation. A factor they would think about especially panics. Some went in and got some out anyway- one passed out due to fumes while being dragged out. The most recent word used now is complacency. More training added.
No mention of plastic backed fridges and freezers.
Lots of compensation?

What should happen is that everyone who is found to have acted improperly is charged appropriately.
But as to the subject of compensation, what a mess that would be.

Angela Rayner has backed the police to bring criminal prosecutions against those responsible for the Grenfell Tower disaster “as quickly as possible”; according to the Guardian - The deputy prime minister and housing secretary said there should “be consequences” for the failures that led to the deaths of 72 people in a blaze at the London tower block in 2017.
They can start with those in charge of the companies responsible for installing the cladding...
