This month Conservatives admitted not a penny of the extra money promised to councils for essential safety work on tower blocks after the Grenfell disaster has been paid out.

Housing Minister Alok Sharma confessed in a barely reported written statement that six months on from the blaze that claimed 71 lives, no extra fire safety funds had been provided despite 36 councils asking the Government for fund stop carry out work on tower blocks.
