"Why didn't any of us see the Grenfell action blog? Why didn't we know? Why didn't we have contact?"
They are good questions and ones that all journalists and politicians should have been asking. For far too long people in social housing, the disabled, single parent families, and those hit by benefit cuts and sanctions have been ignored and even vilified by much of the media and political class.
