Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn has called the Commons leader's remarks "crass and insensitive".

Jacob Rees-Mogg has said he is "profoundly" sorry after suggesting it would have been "common sense" for Grenfell Tower residents to ignore "stay put" advice and leave the burning building.

The leader of the Commons made the comments in a radio interview while discussing the London Fire Brigade's advice to residents.
His remarks sparked anger among victims' families, who demanded he apologize.
