Accountability Delayed, Justice Stalled The Metropolitan Police's announcement that up to 57 individuals and 20 companies could face charges over the Grenfell Tower fire has sparked both hope and frustration.

The investigation into the disaster, one of the largest and most complex in Met Police history, has scrutinized 15,000 people across 700 organizations.
