Farage urged to sack housing chief over Grenfell remarks
Reform UK's housing chief is facing widespread calls for his dismissal after making controversial comments regarding the Grenfell Tower fire. Simon Dudley, the party's new housing spokesperson, stated in an interview with Inside Housing magazine that "everyone dies in the end" when discussing the 2017 tragedy and building safety regulations. Prime Minister condemned Dudley's remarks, with Dudley later issuing a statement of apology for any lack of clarity.
