THE BEREAVED SON of a Grenfell fire victim has lost his court bid against Theresa May’s refusal to make an inquiry panel probing the disaster more diverse.
Samuel Daniels’s 69-year-old father Joseph died in flat 135 on the 16th floor of the tower during the blaze in Kensington, west London on June 14 last year — he had lived there since 1983.
