Nice to see the Graun still can't tell the difference between a local government authority and the national government. I'd have locked up the entire RBKC council for wasting taxpayers money 30-ish years ago when I worked for one of their suppliers. And that was only a few thousand pounds wasted.

British governments do not know how to save money....

The financial cost of the Grenfell Tower disaster has reached nearly £1.2bn – 4,000 times the amount that was saved by replacing fire-retardant cladding with a cheaper combustible alternative during the disastrous refurbishment.
The bulk of the cost is being met from the public purse, dwarfing the compensation to bereaved and survivors paid by companies involved in wrapping the west London council’s block in combustible materials before the fire in June 2017 that killed 72 people.
