The Kensington MP Felicity Buchan has been criticised for a recent visit to the sight of the Grenfell Tower Fire. 

Matt Wrack, leader of the Norbiton based Fire Brigades Union accused the Tory MP of hunting for photo opportunities when he said she should focus on holding the government to account. 

Ms Buchan has said she believed she was right last year to vote against a Labour amendment to the Fire Safety Bill.

The amendment called for some measures to be implemented straight away, but the MP said she thought the effect would have been to delay the overall inquiry into the fire, which claimed the lives of 72 people.

The offences took place at residential addresses in Enfield and Barnet.

“Matthias was at his front door when he was shot. Friends and members of the public rushed to help him, as his killers fled the scene in a VW Golf that we believe to be the vehicle pictured.

"Matthias's family are at the beginning of an incredible ordeal. Think of their grieving, think of their suffering, and please do the right thing and tell police what you know.

"Anyone who has information but is reluctant to share it with police should consider that the people who committed this murder are violent criminals who have ended a man’s life and devastated a family. It is vital that they are apprehended.

"If you don’t want to speak directly to us, Crimestoppers is 100% anonymous and you won’t even be asked for your name – it doesn’t matter how you do it, but please do make the call.”

Police were called at approximately 22:50pm last Thursday to reports of a man suffering gunshot injuries in Bedford Hill.
