A former Tory minister appeared to confuse the victims of Hillsborough and Grenfell after complaining he had had an "extremely busy day".
Eric Pickles was giving evidence at the Grenfell public inquiry on Thursday, April 7, when he appeared to confuse the victims of the two tragedies. At the end of his evidence, he tripped up separately - appearing to mistake the death toll for that of the Hillsborough disaster, which until recently was 96.
The toll from the 1989 disaster rose to 97 last year after a coroner’s ruling on the death of Liverpool fan Andrew Devine.
