SADIQ KHAN branded the dismissive treatment of complaints by Grenfell Tower residents about fire safety a disgrace at the inquiry into the disaster today.

The inability of the block’s landlord to consider the “welfare of those living in the tower as a priority … left people feeling that they were looked down upon, disrespected and ignored,” Anne Studd QC, speaking on behalf of the Mayor of London, told the inquiry. 

Ms Studd said the Kensington & Chelsea Tenant Management Organisation (TMO), which ran the west London residential block and oversaw its refurbishment, was “everything a TMO should not be.”
