        Agreed, she hasn't handled her public image well, but there's different ways of dealing w/tragedy. She prefers to work behind the scenes.

        The tower block was built so flats could contain a fire for 40-60 mins. The cladding added later was the cause of the fire to spread quickly

        Are you an expert in these panels. If so I would be interested in some of the technical details. 😡

        I'm not an expert but I've looked into the issue and it's been confirmed that the cladding was highly flammable and also banned in the U.K.

        It's pretty much been concluded that the paneling cause the spread of the fire, the initial start of the fire is still being investigated
