Kensington and Chelsea Borough Council leader Nicholas Paget-Brown has said he is stepping down following criticism of the response to the Grenfell Tower disaster.

Mr Paget-Brown cancelled a meeting to discuss the fire on Thursday because journalists were attending. One of the most senior Conservative councillors in the borough then called for him to stand down.

Mr Paget-Brown also faced calls to resign from London Mayor Sadiq Khan and a number of other senior politicians.
