The question regarding Grenfell Tower and legal aid is simply political point scoring.

Few, if any, of the issues facing the Grenfell tower residents would be eligible for legal aid anyway due to the legal aid reforms. Instead this enormous gap in access to justice is being filled, yet again, by valiant but severely underfunded law centres and pro bono services.

Labour should get off it's high horse and stop pretending that it wasn't involved in creating the appalling situation that has now arisen with legal aid provision across the country.
