Reform UK is facing calls to sack its housing spokesman Simon Dudley after he said the Grenfell Tower fire was a tragedy but that 'everyone dies in the end'. The comments, made in an interview published on 1 April, have triggered widespread outrage among campaigners and politicians.
Dudley argued that post-Grenfell safety regulations have gone too far and are holding back housebuilding across the country, putting the Reform UK housing spokesman under intense scrutiny. Dudley, who joined Reform UK in February after a career with the Conservatives and was appointed housing and infrastructure spokesperson in March, was speaking to Inside Housing magazine.
