Farage's Housing Spokesman Slammed for Grenfell Comments

0:00On April 2nd, Nigel Farage is catching heat over his reform party's new housing spokesman Simon Dudley, whose sland-building safety rules put in, placed after the Grinfield Tower fire. Dudley called the rigs too strict, saying the pendulum swung way too far and dropped a line like, everyone dies eventually, is just how it happens. Dudley, a former exec at Holmes, England, and a development corps, got the gig last month to tackle Britain's housing mess with a full review. He told a housing man that while Grinfield was tragic, the rules now blot new builds, comparing deaths there to road accidents without banning cars. The Grinfield blaze in West London back in 2017 killed 72 people in a high rise, and the inquiry blamed decades of ignored. Warnings on flammable cladding by government and builders. Prime Minister Keir Starmer blasted it on X as shameful and urged Farage to sack him. Housing Secretary Steve Reed and Green NPC and Barry echoed that, calling the comments heartless and a slap to victims.

1:03Reform clapped back, stressing Holmes got to be safe, but over-regulation stalls, construction, and worsened shortages. Dudley's point was about balance, not downplaying the fire, as pressure builds on Farage to decide his fate.
