A 21-year-old man has been arrested over suspected arson attacks on two properties linked to Sir Keir Starmer.

The Metropolitan Police said the suspect was arrested in the early hours of Tuesday on suspicion of arson with intent to endanger life.

Emergency services were called to blazes at the doors of two homes in north London within 24 hours of each other – one just after 1.30am on Monday and the other on Sunday.

Police are investigating whether the fires were linked and counter-terrorism officers are leading the inquiry because the properties have connections to a high-profile public figure.

Scotland Yard is also looking into a vehicle fire on May 8 as part of the probe.
