At least one positive development has emerged from the Grenfell Tower inferno.

But we should all take note that it was left to the Labour Party to do the right thing.

The Tories still couldn’t care less about people who have to live in tower blocks.

All new local authority tower blocks in London will be fitted with sprinkler or water mist systems to avoid another Grenfell tragedy .

Fire safety plans will have to be included in all future planning applications, with at least one evacuation lift.

London Mayor Sadiq Khan will unveil the regulations as part of his new plan for the capital next week.

    Should we be building new tower blocks? Shouldn’t authorities be looking at high density low rise estates?

    So only London to get preventative fire measures on high rises go outside London and they can build them as high as they like and not put any system in to save lives in the event of a fire
