As I understand it, David Lammy is connected with this tragedy in a way most people aren't: one of his friends died. I think in that case he has every right to be angry.
Is there a cover-up? I've seen no sign of it. The police have stated repeatedly that they expect the death toll to rise each time they've released a figure. I'm not sure if Lammy has overlooked that, or is just angry that preliminary (and probably low) estimates are released at all. But in the long run he has as much right as anyone to ask these questions and push for answers as soon as possible.

No, I don't hold with these conspiracy theories. The number may well be a lot higher, but I think that has actually been suggested anyway.
The situation must have been very confused, and so it may well have seemed that there were more bodies than there actually were, falling, etc, but it's hard to see how - or indeed why - you'd want to cover that up. It might, in fact, be that residents themselves could be hesitant about admitting to subletting, suggesting that the number of dead would not match a missing persons list. But without a definitive list of missing persons, or a lot of unaccounted for remains, then it's probably going to run and run.
