Prime Minister Theresa May has been criticised for not meeting the residents of Grenfell Tower when she visited the scene – in contrast to Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn and London mayor Sadiq Khan.
Mrs May made a private visit on Thursday to speak to police and firefighters dealing with the aftermath of the blaze, but was not seen speaking to any of the families or residents affected.
Former Conservative Cabinet minister Michael Portillo said her meeting with the emergency services was “a good thing” but that she “should have been there with the residents”.
“She wanted an entirely controlled situation in which she didn’t use her humanity,” he told BBC’s This Week.
“The Prime Minister would have been shouted at by the residents, but she should have been willing to take that.”
