The Grenfell tragedy revealed deep inequalities in the UK. Despite legal protections for equality, these inequalities persist. The paper examines how the UK's focus on equal status overlooks economic inequality, leading to a disconnect between legal commitments and real-life disparities. It suggests ways to address these limitations within the UK's constitutional framework.
