Theresa May’s words of ‘regret’ at not meeting Grenfell survivors in the immediate aftermath of the fire, a distant memory as the UK PM attempts to woo European Financial bosses on day of the 1st anniversary of the disaster.


Theresa May’s ‘regret’ at not meeting Grenfell survivors in the aftermath of the fire tragedy, was seemingly a distant memory as she spent the blaze’s first anniversary wooing bankers instead of attending a march to honor victims.


Writing in the Evening Standard, days before the anniversary, May stated that she “will always regret that by not meeting them [the Grenfell Tower fire victims] that day, it seemed as though I didn’t care.” But just several days later her ‘regret’ did not lead her to attend the various ceremonies marking the anniversary, instead she attempted to woo an audience of European financial bosses in the city of London, reports the Financial Times.


The revelation drew widespread criticism on social media with claims that the Prime Minister was being disrespectful.
