Rees-Mogg sorry for saying Grenfell victims lacked common sense
Commons leader apologises after criticism over his remarks on adherence to stay-put policy
Jacob Rees-Mogg has apologised after claiming Grenfell Tower fire victims did not use “common sense” and leave the burning building.
The leader of the House of Commons was widely criticised on Tuesday morning after he said the stay-put policy issued by the fire service had limited people’s chances of survival and he would have ignored it.
