Hundreds of firefighters were called to tackle the blaze, while a major incident was declared.
The London Fire Brigade said there were “a number of fire safety issues” at the building, and attention has turned to the role cladding may have played. It comes a week before the publication of the final report of the Grenfell Tower Inquiry.

They can look forward to the fact that they won't be rehoused until all the boat people are safe and cosy
This is an existential crisis.
In birmingham , there is a tower called trident house just off broad street built the eighties Converted office building multiple fires inside.Never burnt down , still standing to this day, They don't make them like they used to!
It’s sad it’s happened to the family, but the debate around value for money, house safety and property investment fraud/extortion needs to be had here. Quickly built shitty builds that have a problem every week, water off, plumbing backing up, burst water pipes, heating on in the summer.
What coused the fire 🔥
Hat? Anyone??
When you give nice things to silly people🙄 say no more
Aw, s***, here we go again!

Greedy landlords trying to skin people off their living

Any whites left in London?
£1600 a month for one of those crappy little flats, in that horrible area? Unbelievable! Why does anybody live anywhere near London!!
Probably someone was cooking dog
And the facilities needed to help the homeless in the UK are seriously lacking also.
How did it start?
Kick out the illegal migrants and house the victims of the fire instead.
I used to live near dagenham.

Right-wing: Blame the Muslims.
This reporter is a qualified journalist..?? Really…?!?!
Tragedy strikes 💔
We could send a load of certain people home freeing a hotel up and actually help those affected but I guarantee that won't even be a discussion treat British people like humans labour would laugh that out the door
UK Or Anywhere in The World Shouldn't Be Allowed To Build Residential High Rise Apartments!😡

Turning office buildings into home is shameful on the government. They need to build decent safe homes.
