Prime Minister Boris Johnson has said that a report into the Grenfell Tower fire means the world "is finally hearing the truth about what happened".

A 1,000-page document follows the first phase of an inquiry looking into the fire in west London on 14 June 2017, when 72 people were killed.

The inquiry chairman concluded that fewer people would have died if the tower block had been evacuated sooner.

Yvette Williams is the coordinator and co-founder of Justice4Grenfell.  She joined Mark on Thursday's edition of The Hard Shoulder to tell him why justice has still not been done.
