Tony Blair told to ‘take responsibility’ after Grenfell criticism

Campaigners call for apology after inquiry report makes several criticisms of decisions made during Blair's tenure

Grenfell campaigners have called on Tony Blair to apologise and take responsibility for decisions made by his government that contributed to the fire that killed 72 people.

The former prime minister said on Thursday that tragedies such as the west London fire, which came after years of missed opportunities to regulate combustible cladding, were a result of unavoidable mistakes.
