A former employee of KCTMO, the management company who oversee Grenfell Tower's maintenance, has said "I can't say that I'm surprised something has happened somewhere in a borough in London".

Seraphima Kennedy, who worked for the Kensington and Chelsea Tenant Management Organisation between 2007 and early 2016, told Mark Mardell the organisation was "massively overstretched" and changes in policy were frequent.

She said the fact that there are sprinklers in hotels but not in high-rise council blocks "makes you ask questions about how the state values lives and which lives it values".
