LATEST: Council chief 'backed to remain' despite Grenfell disaster critizism

A 52-year-old woman is the fifth victim of the Grenfell Tower fire to have been named, after Scotland Yard announced the death toll had risen to 79.

UPDATE 4.15pm: The leader of Kensington and Chelsea Council said he has received "overwhelming" backing to remain in the post in the face of widespread criticism of his administration over the Grenfell Tower disaster.

Nick Paget-Brown said that fellow councillors had shown their support in the wake of reports that he had offered to resign from the post.
