    This * witch just doesn't get it. Refuses to answer any uncomfortable questions and has no idea about the mood of the public.

    Every question aimed at her is met with a stock, bullshit answer.

    All 72 Tory MP's that voted against the legislation were private landlords, surely that is a conflict of interest.

    I wonder why that compassionate human being Theresa May so quickly called for a public inquiry?

    Surely it's because she is so compassionate that she wanted to move quickly and not because a public inquiry is controlled by the government and the outcome is controlled by the government?

    The UK should be united in demading an inquest. Heads must roll for this.

    Don't think that will be allowed.
    The bosses of the company will face manslaughter charges at least or they should if there's any justice.

    can't blame the company for using cladding that meets the regulatory standards, if that's the case then all we're doing is picking out a scapegoat and letting the main culprits off.

    I'm not picking out a scapegoat here.
    The bosses of the company plus those MPs who voted against safer housing bill should all face the consequences.
    The courts were quick enough to jail the sick * who took pics of one of the dead bodies and posted it on facebook.
    Hope they are just as quick to do the same to the ones responsible for this.

    Pretty much sums up London quite well for me.

    Especially in areas I used to know, sometimes I'll go through them and think "what is this place" it's nothing like I remember.

    London is getting so bad, to be fair I'm sure it can be seen in other places as well but you can tell when go down certain streets all across London which is the poor side and which is the rich it is becoming that prevalent.

    I know, but what will happen is some poor * will be picked out and paraded in front of the media then vilified by everyone while say, the ones that passed the idea to clad over a concrete façade which was fluted, so letting a multi storey building become a massive chimney with it's own enclosed wind channels escapes justice
    they more or less turned that building into a massive bunsen burner.

    I wonder how many of those tory landlords won their seats in the election.
    Getting rid of them would force another election and with this disaster the tories will not allow this to happen so expect a big cover up.

    saving there own *.... as I've said before, someone in the house off commons should ask each and ever one of them, how by voting no against the bill does that help your constituents.

    Theresa May didn't go to the site of the fire to visit those involved due to security risks. The * queen managed it ya eejit.

    She never answered a question, she never spoke to any residents so how can she say she heard from them

    The way the Tories are dealing with this reminds me of how dictatorships cope with disasters. Hiding real numbers, not providing proper info, no one involved with the tragedy even fearing to be punished. I am deeply angry with this, it shows they have a clear disdain for the lives of poor people. I study this subject and the problems are so * obvious, this is not an accident but result of decades of anti Social Housing policy

    Have you seen the price it cost to stay in those flats?

    There's still a couple showing up in adverts and they were between £1700-2100 per month for a two bedroom flat.

    I've always been against allowing people on benefits living in London with extortionate rates of rent to be covered. I'm sure after this many won't want to live in another tower block and moving out of London will be the only viable option.

    They are never going to reclaim luxury flats.

    Voted SNP in the election. For me Independence is paramount for the future of Scotland and they are the only party offering this despite some obvious failings in some areas.

    However, my respect for Jeremy Corbyn knows no bounds. An absolute example of a real politician and hero of a human being.

    The amount of slurs and degradation he has put up with since becoming Labour leader is sickening and unknown to anyone in British political history in my opinion yet he shrugs it off as though it's * on his shoe. Inspirational.
