Witnesses said they heard screaming from the upper floors as the flames rose in the night and one desperate resident could be seen waving a white cloth from a top floor window.

"The police keep pushing back their cordons, pushing back members of the public for fear the building might collapse". George Clarke, a British architect who lives near the tower, told Radio 5 in an interview that he saw "the glow through the windows".

"It's so heartbreaking, I've seen someone flashing their torches at the top level and they obviously can't get out". He said he saw rescuers "doing an incredible job" trying to get people out.

"I got us into this mess, and I'm going to get us out of it", May told her party MPs.

"The potential for a fire to break out in the communal area on the walkway does not bear thinking about as residents would be trapped in the building with no way out", it said. "Several hundred would have been in there".

The 14-storey building was described as "100 per cent alight" by the fire service.
