UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer has issued a formal apology to victims of the 2017 Grenfell Tower fire, which claimed 72 lives. In a parliamentary address, Starmer acknowledged the state's failure to protect citizens, saying "it should never have happened." He expressed deep sorrow and accepted responsibility on behalf of the British government. The apology comes after a public inquiry report into the blaze was published. Starmer's historic apology marks a significant step towards accountability and justice for the families affected by the tragedy.
