ANGELA RAYNER has denied being aggressive during a “car crash” meeting with Grenfell Tower survivors and the bereaved, informing them of the decision to dismantle the tower.

The Deputy Prime Minister said it is “not a possibility” for Grenfell Tower to remain in its current state and it will be brought down to ground level, with some parts returned where possible to be included in a memorial “if the community wishes.”

The government has officially announced its plans for the west London tower block, destroyed by fire in 2017, having received criticism from some of the survivors and bereaved following a private meeting earlier this week.
