Corbyn: Grenfell inquiry must look at national issues

JEREMY CORBYN demanded a broadening of the “narrow” inquiry into the Grenfell inquiry yesterday so that residents’ voices can be heard.

In a letter to Prime Minister Theresa May yesterday, the Labour leader suggested conducting a two-part inquiry that analyses the national issues rather than just the specific causes of the fire in west London.

“It is clear to me from talking to Grenfell residents that their concerns and questions stretch beyond these narrow terms,” he wrote.
