To north London, where the Metropolitan Police are investigating a fire that broke out at Sir Keir Starmer’s personal home early this morning. Shortly after 1.30 a.m., the force attended the property alongside the London Fire Brigade after receiving a report of the fire. While the door to the four-bedroom home owned by the Prime Minister was damaged, no one was injured.
In a statement, the Met police noted:
On Monday 12 May at 01:35hrs, police were alerted by the London Fire Brigade to reports of a fire at a residential address in north London. Officers attended the scene. Damage was caused to the property’s entrance, nobody was hurt. The fire is being investigated and cordons remain in place while enquiries continue.
The London Fire Brigade added:
Firefighters were called to a small fire outside a property in Kentish Town this morning. The brigade was called at 1.11am and the fire was under control by 1.33am. Two fire engines from Kentish Town fire station attended the scene.
It’s not the first time the police have been called to the property. Last year three people involved in a pro-Palestine protest outside Starmer’s home were found guilty of public order offences – as well as breaching court bail. The trio propped up a banner outside the house emblazoned with the words ‘Starmer stop the killing’, alongside red handprints – which the PM’s wife Victoria admitted to the Westminster court made her feel ‘a bit sick’ throughout the demo.
The Prime Minister’s house has been regularly rented out since Starmer’s move to Downing Street and yet it has been repeatedly targeted by protestors in recent months. The street remains sealed off as the police continue their enquiries.
