Yeah, I agree.
The number of genuinely comparable to Grenfell buildings is not huge, but significant. These will need to be addressed through remedial works. The rest will eventually be sorted out through insurer / regulator negotiations.

I suspect this is something the Tories could resolve. It's going to take time though.
