Grenfell Tower was a death trap, says survivors' lawyer

The refurbishment of Grenfell Tower turned the high-rise into a "death trap", a lawyer has told the public inquiry into last June's blaze.

Danny Friedman QC - representing survivors and the bereaved - said his clients were coming to this inquiry in a "calm rage".

He said the local council and the Tenant Management Organisation (TMO) used public funds, paid to professionals, contractors and sub-contractors, "none of whom have yet accepted any responsibility for their part in what happened".

The inquiry is expected to hear from Kensington and Chelsea council and the TMO on Wednesday.
