Remorse over Grenfell is freely given now those responsible are far from view

So Keir Starmer was rightly in sombre mood as he made his statement to the Commons after the publication of Sir Martin Moore-Bick’s report on the Grenfell fire. It was the least that the 72 victims and their families deserved. It also helped that no one in the chamber could conceivably be held to blame other than by their position and office in parliament. Remorse is always so much easier when you’re not directly responsible.
