A&E at Charing Cross hospital are currently turning away people unless they have really serious problems in anticipation of further casualties coming from North Kensington. God bless all the emergency service people who are working so hard on this tragedy. | | | |

To be fair, you'd expect the Mayor to make a statement. | | | |

It is. For anyone not aware, with a new friedge or moving an old fridge, move it to position and DO NOT plug it in for 24 hours whilst the fridge gasses settle.
Absolutely awful, should not be happening in London in 2017, or anywhere in the UK. Savage cuts in the name of asuterity to the Fire Brigade and local councils, relaxing of standards on fit for habitation and rapacious developers chasing profit.
Completely preventable. Standby for the whitewash. | | | |

It will be a logistical nightmare, bound to be some reported missing who are on holiday somewhere, people who are away for the night and as you say people who are staying anonymously without permission. | |

Reports I'm hearing suggest that the firefighters may have managed to get as high as the 16th floor. No idea if that's true or not but if it is they all deserve f*ckin medals
Still 8 more floors above that though.
F*ck this is awful. | |

Thanks for your first paragraph , I didnt know that . My middle boy is moving in 3 weeks time with his partner and 2 year old . I will pass that on as a "Dad" fact .
Bit early for blame IMO , but some questions should be asked before calling it as and accident for sure . | | | |

Damned if he does and damned if he don't.
The knives have been sharpened for our Mayor for various reasons and unfortunately people will always look for an opportunity to dig him out. | | | |

Fire expert saying cladding cleary played apart but also there looks to be a failing with fire doors | |

Think he means (Lesbian,not that that matters a duck) Newsreader Jane Hill on BBC 1 .
My bete noire on the Ladbroke Grove pub scene is fellow middle class cyclist but Chelski fan Piers Thompson,a hipster Portobello Radio DJ and left-wing community activist with requisite hipster shades and husky voice operating out of i.e. running Portobello Radio station at The KPH 139 Lad Grove (before recent closure for refurbishment & redevelopment) made an excellent informed local eyewitness talking to Jane Hill about half an hour ago.
One of his daughter's friends might be dead. Spot on post earlier on this thread by our man with the rapidly-formed questioning journalistic instincts,Our Northernr Clive.
All his concerns had been voiced to RBK&C by Piers
Thompson and many other local residents repeatedly for a long time.

Yeh everything you hear this morning makes this sound more and more scandalous. Residents had petitioned the council about how unsafe the block was. £10m refit covering the building in a flammable material. The building should be able to contain fire within a flat and didn't. Starewell should be able to keep clear for 30 minutes to get everybody out and yet was immediately smoke logged. Only one way in or out. Residents previously advised to just stay in their flats in a fire. There's a lot of very murky sht going to be uncovered here. | | | |

It's a bloody big difficult job that. Mayor of London. Not many people could do it. Even less would want to. I think he's doing ok | |

Chelski fan Piers Thompson with the shades and husky voice speaking to Jane Hill stood up to the plate eloquent and did very well indeed.
The best witness is rapidly eloquent informed yet funny too angry working-class Mickey Paramasivan with his genuine Notting Dale manor born accent on BBC1. JH: "where are you going to sleep tonight?" Mike: "Dunno..up that tree(points)?" Mike: "Don't want to be left up the grand union canal without a paddle". [Post edited 14 Jun 2017 12:48]

Even totally legitimate people will have lost their passports, insurance documents, bank cards, bank details etc. A logistical nightmare. | |

'Dad facts.'I like that. Hope your boys move goes well.
In the interests of decency I wont put the links up but 72 MP's who voted down improvements to housing law and protections for the population were also Landlords. Not to mention the cuts to Local Councils and Fire Brigade. It's political whether we like it or not.
Thank God for the Fire Brigade that still remains. [Post edited 14 Jun 2017 12:30]
