Is he one of the illegal sublettors or just one of the outright liars who pretended to live there to get a handout ??
There have possibly been more than 20 convictions over fraudulent claims over losses in the Grenfell Tower fire in 2017.

Rumours of illegal subletting began right from the night of the Grenfell fire. These led to fears that information might be withheld that could help identify casualties. Luckily, all 72 victims were identified and named.

Have any claims of subletting and squatting since been verified...?

I saw a comment that only South Korea and the UK will allow high rise blocks to be built with only one staircase. Other countries stipulate two.
However, I found this to be a bit of a red herring when the fire brigade told everyone to stay in the building?

Reminder that builders who use Grenfell cladding have donated £2.5m to the Tories since 2017

(Original Times article: Here)

QuoteBoris Johnson personally received £50,000 from individuals with links to the cladding debacle.

Property developers responsible for flats covered in dangerous cladding have donated £2.5 million to the Conservative Party since the Grenfell Tower fire in 2017, shocking analysis published by The Times in 2021 revealed.

The Government is examining the recommendations of the seven-year probe into the Grenfell Tower fire, following its damning conclusion.

The deaths of all 72 people in the 2017 blaze in west London were avoidable and had been preceded by "decades of failure" by government, other authorities and the building industry, inquiry chairman Sir Martin Moore-Bick's report concluded.

The tower block was covered in combustible products because of the "systematic dishonesty" of firms who made and sold the cladding and insulation, he added, with cladding company Arconic and insulation firms Kingspan and Celotex coming in for particularly heavy criticism.

In 2021, it was revealed by The Times that the Conservatives have received millions in donations from builders that use materials linked to the tragic inferno.

Boris Johnson himself personally received £50,000 from individuals with links to the cladding debacle.

Among the most significant developer donors are the Reuben Brothers, who have an estimated fortune of £16 billion and came second on the Sunday Times Rich List last year. They are co-owners of European Land and Property, which donated £200,000 to the Conservatives at the 2019 election. The company developed the Paddington Walk block of flats in West London, which used the same aluminium composite material (ACM) cladding as was grafted on to the Grenfell Tower.

Delancey, a property company founded and run by Jamie Ritblat, an Old Etonian, donated £100,000 to the Conservatives during the 2019 election.

The company bought the East Village development in the Olympic Park in east London. Prior to the purchase, 11 blocks that housed athletes during the 2012 Games out of 66 contained ACM cladding. Delancey confirmed that the cladding had been removed.

Despite the accusations, claims, frauds and finger pointing at the victims, there's still no decision on what should happen to Grenfell Tower. The huge shrouded monument to incompetence and shoddy application of safety regulations still dominates the local skyline. Five years after the event, the only info that seems to be coming out is that govt is still considering whether to pull it down...
