Much as people want to make this a party-political point - that's bollocks.
This is simply a result of a decline in British building standards from a high point in the 80s to the crud standards that prevail now.
To the extent that the cladding wasn't banned when it was a known fire risk.
I bet everything was signed off properly to the prevailing (low) standards.
I know at least 2 people who live in million pound + flats in London and who are unhappy with the building quality and fire escape amenities.
Developers are free to throw up tower blocks with the minimum of rules and the London skyline is being transformed by these dangerous eyesores.
Only a matter of time before there's another.
PS Only 17 dead? More like 100+.
