Star rapper advocates Grenfell fire petition push

- By JOE NERSSESSIA­N

Stormzy has urged people to sign a petition calling for the public inquiry into the Grenfell Tower tragedy to be overhauled.

The musician wrote on Twitter “this needs 100,000 signatures if you could please sign, share, RT and spread the word on it”, with a link to the petition.

The petition calls for a panel from a diverse range of background­s to sit alongside retired judge Sir Martin Moore-bick at the public inquiry into the blaze.

The musician, who used his performanc­e at the Brit Awards earlier this week to take aim at Prime Minister Theresa May over the tragedy, asked fans to support a petition launched by survivors.

They are demanding a diverse panel to be appointed to the probe amid diminishin­g confidence in chairman Sir Martin Moore-bick.
