He's right though, they don't need a debate in parliament or an inquiry or 5k... they need a home, where are they going to live?

This is just another stick to beat him with his call to requisition homes, but why should he be demonised for saying what many are thinking?

'Last night the former residents of Grenfell Tower lay crowded together on mix-and-match donated blankets and cushions, staring at the rafters of the sports centre in which they tried to slept. A stone’s throw away, 1,399 properties sat in silence; darkness fell over large airy rooms, their blinds unopened for months. These homes – if that’s what you charitably want to call them – are investment “nest eggs” worth £664m, and they are empty. None of them have been opened up to the displaced residents of the Grenfell Tower fire.'

Mr Corbyn said if emergency accommodation could be found for stranded airline passengers, then the victims of Grenfell Tower should get similar support. “Somehow or other, it seems to be beyond the wit of the public services to deal with the crisis facing a relatively small number of people in a country of 65 million,” he said.

Asked if Mr Corbyn's call to "occupy" was addressed to victims of the tragedy, his supporters or the Government a source close to the Labour leader said: "He was saying that everyone should be urgently housed in the borough."

Problem? Of course they should be housed.

If there are a bunch of empty properties then the council could buy them up with the 200m they have squandered

Edit. I don't actually see where he has encouraged squatting?
