It's not where it came from, it's WHO authorised the use of this stuff.

Mr Paget-Brown had been admonished for his council's response to the victims of the fire but then faced further criticism from local media and residents for closing down a council meeting.

Initially the meeting was set to be held behind closed doors but a court order forced the council to hold it in public.

That meeting lasted just 20 minutes. After it was shut down London Mayor Sadiq Khan called on the council's leadership to resign.

The Prime Minister's Office reiterated the meeting should have gone ahead.

"As council leader, I have to accept my share of responsibility for these perceived failings. In particular, my decision to accept legal advice that I should not compromise the public enquiry by having an open discussion in public yesterday, has itself become a political story," he said.

His resignation will not completely relieve the pressure on the council.

How did the Grenfell Tower fire spread so quickly?


While those affected by the Grenfell Tower fire may have to wait some time before responsibility is taken, authorities can act now to help prevent another disaster, writes Feng Fu.
Documents obtained by the BBC show that zinc cladding originally proposed for the Grenfell Tower renovation was instead replaced with aluminium cladding that saved around $500,000.

The investigation will look at whether that decision made the tower less fire-resistant.

Sue Caro from the action group Justice 4 Grenfell said she was appalled by the cost-cutting.

But the building inspector ticked off on it -
he approved illegal cladding.
