Yes, that'd be interesting wouldn't it. I wonder how many have insisted that sprinklers be fitted too? The rules don't insist on it but if there's been so much concern and it's only the Tories who haven't been listening to that then I'm sure Labour run councils will have acted to make these death trap buildings safe. If it's truly a question of only Labour cares about social housing and the Conservatives don't there'll be the evidence to back that up and I'm sure Corbyn will be quick to tell us how his party have been doing it so much better.
Sadly, this is another example of the sort of tragedy which happens from time to time highlighting shortcomings in procedures, regulations etc. and sometimes what amounts to criminal negligence. The inquiry into this will answer those questions. To try to turn this into a rich v. poor argument is pathetic but it's typical lefty tactics that we've seen all too often before.
