Siderise - the cavity barrier manufacturer - is challenging its inclusion in a group of manufacturers and contractors banned from projects RBKC. It says its products didn't cause or contribute to the fire. That's true. But it also isn't the full story...

There were talks about renaming Latimer St to Grenfell Station, as its meters away from the tower. Local community uses it daily. Now imagine how triggering it is to see Kingspan products used despite promises from PM and @SadiqKhan ! @TfL @GrenfellUnited

Following the Grenfell Inquiry Report, Kingspan’s role in what happened that night is undeniable. Still, almost 8 years on, Kingspan insulation is being used in Latimer Road Station- only a few metres away from the tower. Shameful behaviour @TfL @MayorofLondon

Firefighters reportedly attended an automatic fire alarm at the Radcliffe Camera library in Oxford this morning.
During previous demonstrations, police have asked firefighters to help remove protesters.
Firefighting is a humanitarian role. The FBU advises members not to assist with law enforcement activities.

I once believed that the Israeli government's slaughter of civilians was indiscriminate. I was completely wrong. It is deliberate, massive and plainly genocidal.

Seven years on from Grenfell, the children who survived the fire continue to count the cost.
The final report from the public inquiry into Grenfell is released to the public this week.

Solidarity with palestinian firefighters.
Solidarity with Palestine 🇵🇸 ❤️
In the firefighters magazine @fbunational No firefighters should support British police to remove activists from factories supplying the Israeli occupation. All firefighters should stand in solidarity with Palestinian firefighters in Gaza working non stop for 9 months or murdered

"Six years on, we now know that every single death at Grenfell could and should have been avoided. That 72 innocent men, women and children died at the hands of corruption and greed. And not a single person has been held accountable".

"We need justice, we need to hear the clink of handcuffs. We need the perpetrators in court & in jail.
We need people to pay a price for what happened. We can't have Grenfell happening & the world just continues as if nothing has happened." - Ed Daffarn

“Not only because I was at Grenfell but because there’s still a good chance it’s covered in flammable materials and there’s only one staircase for everyone to get out and there’s still no PEEPs”
