Six men arrested over Grenfell Tower bonfire

Foreign Affairs Correspondent

The Police called it “callous”, the Prime Minister said it was “utterly unacceptable” and the Chairman of the Grenfell Tower Public Inquiry described it as “shocking and distressing”.

Five of the men were arrested at a south London police station last night. Here’s Paraic O’Brien.
