Reform UK’s housing spokesperson has been sacked from his role after he described the Grenfell Tower fire as a “tragedy” but said that “everyone dies in the end”.
Keir Starmer had called on Nigel Farage to sack Simon Dudley, a former head of Homes England, after comments which were condemned by Grenfell families and others.
Dudley announced in February that he was joining Reform, as Nigel Farage said he was planning to bring more “experts” onboard to advise the party.
