Government Inquiry into the Grenfell Tower fire disaster has been released, but does it really address the underlying issues about what caused Britain’s worst disaster? Also, Nigel Farage looks like he’s watered-down his Brexit orthodoxy and is ready to jump in the fold with Boris and the Tories come December. Will there be a backlash among Brexit purists? Also, record cold front has pounded America’s Midwest leaving some to ask whether or the sun is the real culprit. All this and much more on today’s Friday programme.
We’re back in the studio for another episode of UK Column News, covering everything from the world’s economic situation (hint: it’s all about China), to what’s really happening now in Iran, Syria, Libya, Israel, Palestine and more. Then we circle back to UK domestic news with an update on the Grenfell enquiry, IOPC and the Cities Agenda.
