A 21-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of arson with intent to endanger life after two properties linked to Sir Keir Starmer were damaged in London.
Emergency services were called to blazes at the doors of two homes in north London within 24 hours of each other.
On Monday, the Metropolitan Police confirmed that it is investigating whether the fires were linked and said counter-terror police are involved. Scotland Yard is also looking into a vehicle fire as part of the probe.
At the time, a police cordon and officers, as well as investigators from London Fire Brigade (LFB), could be seen outside a Kentish Town property, where the prime minister used to live.
Sir Keir is understood to still own the home, but lives at the PM’s official residence in Downing Street.
The prime minister’s official spokesman said: “I can only say that the prime minister thanks the emergency services for their work and it is subject to a live investigation. So I can’t comment any further.”
