I'm not either, but I somehow have this feeling that whatever was done would have been seen as 'wrong' - too early a visit and it's making political capital, leave it a bit for the essential services to get things under control and it's 'uncaring' and 'unfeeling'.

You are being called out because you are totally transparent, as you are on virtually every topic. When you continuously use every thread to promote the Labour party and discredit the government then no one will take anything you say seriously. Your comments on this thread are an obvious attempt to make gain from a tragedy, no matter how you try and spin it, and you would like nothing more that to encourage anti government unrest before any inquest is even begun.

You deserve all the criticism you get.

Nick Robinson has named Labour councils and constituencies, that as expected, have tower blocks with cladding.

Barwell should face serious questioning though.

GRENFELL TOWER POLITICS
The Grenfell Tower fire happened in a Conservative-run borough, but the series of political decisions that led to the fire – the indifference of the Tenant Management Organisation to residents, the contracting out of the refurbishment to a private company, the cost cutting that led to flammable insulation material being used, the negligence that lead to the use of a cladding system that eye witnesses say acted as a chimney for the fire, the ignoring of the warnings by the London Fire Brigade, the reasons for the refurbishment itself, which the planning application reveals to be mostly cosmetic in order to attract investment into the area – are being replicated across London, and primarily in Labour boroughs, where more than 150 estates are under threat of demolition, privatisation and social cleansing by Labour-run councils.
Rydon, the company that was contracted by the Kensington and Chelsea TMO to refurbish Grenfell Tower, is the same company that carried out the refurbishment of 172 council homes on Myatts Field North estate in Brixton, and the same complaints by residents there have been made against Lambeth council, which is Labour-run. These include faulty electric sockets and dangerous wiring, something that the residents of Grenfell Tower complained about to the Kensington and Chelsea TMO, and which reports suggest could have been the cause of the fire. And like them the residents of Myatts Field North have been ignored by Lambeth council, who have handed over the running of the homes to a private consortium which has in turn subcontracted the maintenance of the block out to a private housing management company.
What happened on Tuesday is the very worst that can result from estate regeneration done to raise land values for the council and maximise profits for private companies, rather than for the benefit of residents; but its political causes are in place in every London borough. People have been won over by Jeremy Corbyn’s response to this disaster, which has been in stark contrast to Theresa May’s typically awkward indifference and insulting offer of a derisory £5 million in aid; but it would be wrong to think that conditions are any different on estates run by Labour councils in accordance with Labour housing policy. Corbyn has given his direct backing and support to Lambeth Labour council’s estate privatisation programme, and has remained resolutely silent on the Haringey Development Vehicle, where the Labour council is handing 3 council estates and £2 billion worth of land to property developers Lendlease.
We must not allow this disaster to be turned into a campaign for the Labour party, which is leading the way in the demolition, privatisation and social cleansing of London’s council estates. One of the ways we can honour the memory of the residents who died in Grenfell Tower is to identify and change the circumstances that led to their death. If we don’t, this will not be the last loss of life we see on London’s council estates.

A lot of hypocrisy again?

Not the angel you thought he and his party were after all then?
