Reform’s Simon Dudley urged to apologise to Grenfell families after saying ‘everyone dies’

Party’s housing spokesperson made comments while criticising safety regulations brought in after 2017 tragedy

Campaigners for Grenfell families have called on Reform UK and its housing spokesperson to apologise after he said the tower fire was a “tragedy” but that “everyone dies in the end”.

Simon Dudley, a former head of Homes England, had announced in February that he was joining Reform, as Nigel Farage said he was planning to bring more “experts” onboard to advise the party.
