“Concerning For MPs Facing Threats” Arrest Made Over Alleged Arson Attacks On Keir Starmer’s House
Police investigating suspected arson attacks on properties and a car linked to Sir Keir Starmer have arrested a 21-year-old man.
The Metropolitan Police said the suspect was arrested in the early hours of Tuesday on suspicion of arson with intent to endanger life.
In the early hours of Monday the emergency services responded to a fire at the Kentish Town home where Sir Keir lived before becoming Prime Minister and moving into 10 Downing Street.
The property is understood to have been rented out to his sister-in-law since the Labour leader’s election success last year.
Counter-terrorism officers are leading the investigation into the fire on Monday “as a precaution and due to the property having previous connections with a high-profile public figure”, the Metropolitan Police said.
A fire at a property on Sunday and car which is also linked to Sir Keir which was set alight on May 8 also form part of the probe.
Talk’s Julia Hartley-Brewer discusses the story with former head of the National Counter-Terrorism Security Office, Chris Phillips.
