        these people were in their homes. they can't be "missing". release an official list of all #Grenfell residents names.

        It's the Tories and their neoliberal ideology driving policy that has caused this tragedy. Nothing you say can detract nor deflect from that

        58 people, presumably on top of the others confirmed dead. Something like this should never happen in our modern world.

        Sadly there may be people/families who were refugees and have perished but have no other family in the UK to report them missing.

        Where are the survivors if there are any? Only 58 people? In 128 flats? More like 400 mate stop covering it up #GrenfellTower

        A lot who are missing will not have been reported missing because there will be whole families who died.

        As he said number will probably increase once they actually get in to all of the building and find bodies

        Up to 600 ppl lived in #Grenfelltower. The death toll will be triple figures but the slow release of information is to manage public outrage

        I know the media are under a 'D' notice by the government but the truth is so OBVIOUS... that's why survivors are so upset & protesting

        Can't be easy, pressure & tension from the community understandable, tempered against the ongoing work in the tower! #alleyeswatching
