The Grenfell Inquiry has just learnt that mere weeks after the June 2017 tragedy, Kingspan - who made some of the combustable insulation on the tower - hired a PR firm to lobby MPs on their behalf.
WATCH: These politicians are the sort of 'key decision makers' who Kingspan were trying to access. Looks like they wanted to convince MPs that ‘combustible materials are no more dangerous than non-combustible when properly installed’. #GrenfellInquiry

Here at #GrenfellInquiry as the chairman hears evidence from Farhad Neda, who lived with his mother and father on the 23rd floor of Grenfell Tower.
A link to Farhad Neda's witness statement can be found here. He has been talking about the night of the fire, and how he and his parents arrived home at 12.52am. The fire started at 12.54am. #GrenfellInquiry
As they got home, he and his mum heard the ventilation system 'going off' outside the flat. It was so loud, they called the TMO's emergency number to report it between 1am and 1.15am. #GrenfellInquiry
