    Does she need to offer to house them personally? The UK can afford to rehouse them out of public expenditure, so as long as she pays her taxes, she's playing he part in rehousing them.

    Mind you, I don't understand why she would be on Newsnight.

        Cynic!

        I'm looking forward to JezzyBull & Gerroff offering their houses out.

          Generally I get upset at so called celebrities interfering in politics.

          In this case I will make an exception.

          Mind you, nothing will change.

              It is normal for the insurance policy to cover immediate temporary housing even if it is in a hotel.

                COULD £5K HAVE SAVED THEM? ‘Deathtrap’ cladding on Grenfell Tower is BANNED in the US and it’s claimed the fire-proof version would have only added £5,000 to £8.6m refurb

                The Irvine blaze led Westminster's environment, transport and regional affairs committee to carry out an inquiry in 2000.

                The committee looked into the potential risk of fire spread in buildings through external cladding systems, calling 14 witnesses.

                Its final report concluded: "We do not believe it should take a serious fire in which many people are killed before all reasonable steps are taken towards minimising the risks.

                "We believe that all external cladding systems should be required either to be entirely non-combustible or to be proven through full-scale testing not to pose an unacceptable level of risk in terms of fire spread."

                  assuming they have insurance.
