All 75 tower blocks tested have failed to pass safety tests.

For (at least) 40 years the construction industry has waged war against trade unions and health and safety whisteblowers (see “Blacklisted: the secret war between big business and the union activists” Smith & Chamberlain) often in cahoots with the authorities.

The Tory party does whatever it can to limit the power of trade unions; see the Trade Union Bill last year.

I do not believe that these things are unconnected. Let’s see how many construction company bosses go to jail as a result.
