This is the Kensington and Chelsea finance chief who stole £62,000 from the victims of the Grenfell fire pictured brazenly spending money on meals out, luxury holidays and shopping trips to Selfridges.

Jenny McDonagh, 39, was jailed for five and a half years today after being convicted of stealing £62,000 of disaster money - spending much of it on holidays and gambling.

Pictures taken on her mobile phone show her enjoying a meal out at Burger and Lobster restaurant using the stolen money, as well as posing on a Thames clipper and and in a new dress.

All of which were paid for by an illegitimate credit card intended for a survivor of the devastating fire which killed 72 people.

McDonagh had been appointed as finance manager by the local authority in October 2017, four months after fire had ripped through Grenfell Tower.

She was employed to help distribute money to survivors of the disaster, including paying for their accommodation and other essentials.

However, she abused the position to spend vast sums of money on herself, using the identity of one of the survivors to hide the scam.

At Isleworth crown court yesterday, McDonagh also admitted defrauding Medway NHS Foundation Trust, her previous employers, out of £35,000.

This morning, Judge Robin Johnson sentenced a sobbing McDonagh to five and a half years in prison, telling her the frauds were "utterly repugnant".

"While 25 per cent of the proceeds of the fraud were lost to gambling, much of the spending was on you indulging yourself with luxury goods and holidays", he said.

"After you had been confronted with your offending you continued to siphon money."

Flights to Paris, Reykjavk, Los Angeles and Dubai – one occasion she listed a holiday as a two week respite break for a genuine victim.

£333.60 was loaded onto an Oyster card but not used.

The judge added: "The effect on those who died, their families and friends, cannot be imagined by those who were not directly affected.

"Members of the public, indeed the nation, were shocked by this dreadful event. The fact that you, a person who had been given the task of assisting in the aftermath, sought to enrich yourself, is the more shocking in the light of the outpouring of grief and sympathy that followed the disaster."

McDonagh wiped away tears as she was led away to the cells, mouthing to her partner in the public gallery: "I love you, I'm sorry."

The court heard McDonagh used an account in the name of Edward Daffarn, the vice chairman of survivor campaign group Grenfell United, to siphon off more than £50,000.

Mr Daffarn described McDonagh as "truly beyond contempt", adding: "It is like pouring salt on the wounds of bereaved residents.

"These feelings go right down to our very core. The action of a few criminals pains our community."

McDonagh used a pre-paid credit card loaded with money meant to be used by Mr Daffarn, topping it up 17 times over the course of ten months.

Prosecutor Benjamin Holt said McDonagh had been responsible for "frivolous" spending, including £120 on beauty treatments, £350 at Marks and Spencer, £48 at Ann Summers, and £200 at the West End restaurant Delaunay.

She had taken eight-day trips to both Los Angeles and Dubai, and also went on excursions to Iceland and Paris.

After her arrest for the Grenfell fraud, it emerged McDonagh had also been stealing from the NHS she had worked for, setting up a fake company to pay money into.

"Your dishonesty necessarily placed additional strains on the Medway NHS Trust budget", said the

Defence barrister Neil Ross said the case had wrecked McDonagh's marriage and she is now on anti-depressants and seeking counselling.

"She has destroyed her own future and of course has brought that on herself", he said.

"She is a pathetic woman in the original meaning of that word."

McDonagh, from Abbey Wood, south-east London, pleaded guilty to three offences of fraud, one count of theft and one charge of concealing criminal property.

She was jailed for four years for the Grenfell frauds, and an added 18 months for the NHS fraud.
