OPINION - The Leader podcast: Grenfell survivors reflect on legacy

Six years after the Grenfell tragedy, survivors and witnesses tell their story from the night, and reveal the legacy left by the fire.

For The Leader podcast, Tiago Alves and Joe Delaney, who both escaped the building, tell Jon Weeks how their experiences on the night have affected them, and explain their frustration around the lack of changes to building safety and regulation, as well as a lack of progress in seeking justice for the victims.

Evening Standard’s Crime Reporter John Dunne, and former Evening Standard photographer Jeremy Selwyn, who both covered the Grenfell fire in 2017, describe what they experienced while reporting the events of the fire, and how the tragedy still impacts them six years later.
