Unsurprisingly, tonight’s latest u-turn by Boris Johnson’s government has caused consternation

"Rydon knew they were in ‘pole position’ to win the tender for the refurbishment of Grenfell Tower, before the formal tender process had ended, according to evidence given to the inquiry.
The Refurbishment Manager agreed in his evidence that Rydon had personal and private access to staff at the Tenant Management Organisation.
The tender document gave inaccurate information in the CVs of key staff. Rydon passed on incorrect figures to the TMO about potential savings from changing materials.
Two site managers working on the refurbishment said that they had not checked the fire safety of the materials used to clad the exterior.
One site manager, Daniel Osgood, was described by a senior colleague as “a chancer” who tried to do as little work as possible.
Another site manager gave evidence about the installation of the windows, which along with the cladding played a significant role in the spread of flame on the night of the fire."

does it surprize you what they say
they say what people want to hear until action costs money then they backtrack or claim its world beating or "ring fenced care"as a pure lie then move on with the latest fiction or non truth to try and give a positive light to a disaster unfolding more and more as pr is far more important than dealing with the situation in an honest and fair way

Are they putting in to law prosecution of the illegals, freeloaders and 5-star hotel lodgers who have actually profited from Grenfell whilst feigning the victim?
BTW, John boy, despite your faux-alarm and shame casting much of the outcome of the enquiry has been and is getting put in to changes of legislation and guidelines, and a lot of it is already part of existing regulation and practice but has not always been implemented.
You can sleep easy now ... except for the freeloaders bit - that is still on-going. Shameful

Lease holds are a scam full stop, as most people don't realise they are just renting.
I highly doubt a lease with "at risk" cladding are being valued at zero. There aren't many still left to do based on the official stats.
If they aren't happy, they could club together, collective enfranchise to ditch the landlord, extend their leases and borrow against the valuation to fund the work. I also think they can get grants too.

Claiming asylum is not illegal, no matter how many times you suggest it is.

There are many scenarios where it can be.

Claiming asylum is not illegal.
Falsifying documents, etc in support of an application is illegal. But that is often illegal in non-immigration issues.
from your link:
1) The Contracting States shall not impose penalties, on account of their illegal entry or presence, on refugees who, coming directly from a territory where their life or freedom was threatened in the sense of article 1, enter or are present in their territory without authorisation, provided they present themselves without delay to the authorities and show good cause for their illegal entry or presence.
Asfaw construed A31 as providing immunity from prosecution to refugees in the course of flight, even if they stopped in an intermediate country en route to the country of intended refuge; “coming directly” therefore has to be construed flexibly.

Au contraire...
They have done their duty as regards their vested interests/party donors!
"Grenfell cladding company 'did not check safety' of design"
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-54075198
"The company which installed cladding blamed for fuelling the Grenfell Tower fire has told an inquiry into the blaze that it did not check the design met fire safety requirements.
Ray Bailey, director of Harley Facades, said the firm relied on architects and building control officers to make sure designs were safe.
He accused supplier Celotex of misleading his firm about its safety.
The fire safety consultation is due to close on 12 October.
The fire at the west London tower block killed 72 people in 2017.
A key question at this stage of the inquiry is how the companies involved allowed highly combustible cladding to be fitted to the outside of the 24-storey tower."
