A "white, upper-middle class man" should not have been appointed to lead the Grenfell Tower inquiry, a Labour MP has said.

David Lammy suggested Sir Martin Moore-Bick, a retired Court of Appeal judge, had "never" visited a tower block housing estate and urged him to spend a night on the 20th floor of one over the coming days.

He said it was a "shame" that a female or an ethnic minority judge had not been selected to lead the inquiry.
