The usual uniformed but jumping in with both feet (complete with bovver boots) comments on here.
There is more to it: a bill has to be passed before anything else can be done so the amendment put down by Labour is not accepted now.Just saw that on a news item on tv, but you should google the whole thing before rushing to judgement.
Gransnet is becoming more and more ‘shoot first and ask questions later’.

The disgustingly large group of Tory MPs voted in last year by a minority of electors could just as well be replaced by robots.

This woman is shamefully letting down her constituents, but does she car? - no more than a robot would.

Well said, illte. It won't be as simple as is being made out.

She voted against an amendment, proposed by Labour to the original Bill I think.

Dors anyone know what the amendment was?

Her twitter feed says it would have had the effect of delaying fire safety implementation.

I know I'll get shouted at, but I'd like some more information before I decide whose culpable here

Can't they stand on their own feet .I wonder if this is what Felicity Buchan really thinks or is she mindlessly supporting the party.
Oh dear !

Tell us how SNP voted on it?

Totally immoral!?

I have read most of the coverage. I don't know what the excuse the MPs who voted against this are giving, maybe it will say in the paper tomorrow.
They really must be very heartless.

They just don’t care do they? Not one little bit. Does anyone still read ( the very limited) media coverage of the enquiry?

Starmers going to be spoiled for choice at PMQs —again!

How can these people sleep at night ? Why do folk still support them ? Is there no one left with any sense or compassion for the families who lost loved ones at Grenfell or the potentila loss of life in other tower blocks that may be affected ?

Sadly it is

Tonight, Felicity Buchan was one of 318 Tory MPs to vote AGAINST implementing fire safety recommendations made by the Grenfell Inquiry.
Felicity Buchan is the Tory MP for Kensington - the constituency where the charred remnants of Grenfell Tower stand.
