Man arrested over arson attacks after fire at Sir Keir Starmer's house

Police arrested a 21-year-old man on Tuesday in London on suspicion of arson after fires damaged the door of Keir Starmer's former private house and two other nearby properties.
The arrest follows an early-morning fire on Monday and two additional fires, including one at a vehicle on May 8, which police suspect may be linked; investigations are led by counterterrorism detectives due to the house's connections to a high-profile figure.
Starmer does not currently live at the private house because he moved with his family to the official Downing Street residence after taking office as Prime Minister in July 2024.
Kemi Badenoch, Conservative Party's main opposition leader, described the attacks as "shocking incidents" and expressed on X that such threats are unacceptable, especially against those who serve the public.
The fires caused no injuries, but the events raise concerns about threats to public officials' homes and prompt heightened security measures during ongoing investigations.
