GBNews published this video item, entitled “Grenfell Tower: Survivor calls for unsafe cladding to be removed from buildings” – below is their description.

A survivor of the Grenfell Tower disaster spoke to Simon McCoy and Alex Phillips on GB News about how survivors are still being “denied swift justice” four years on from the catastrophic fire.

Tiago Alves, his father, mother and younger sister all escaped from their home in Flat 105 on the 13th floor in the early stages of the deadly blaze on June 14, 2017.

On the night of the fire, his parents, returning home after dropping off visiting family at their hotel, became aware of smoke on the fourth floor.

Mr Alves’s father woke his sleeping children and alerted other residents on their floor to get out of the building that would eventually become engulfed in the smoke and flames that claimed 72 lives.
