A fourth man arrested in the fire at Starmer’s former London residence

The 48-year-old man was arrested at London's Stanstead Airport

Newsroom June 2 07:24

British police arrested a fourth man today as part of an investigation into a series of fires linked to Prime Minister Kir Starmer.

The 48-year-old man was arrested at Stanstead Airport in London. He was initially stopped by officers under the Terrorism Act before being arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to commit arson with intent to endanger lives, a police statement said.

On the night of May 11-12, Starmer’s former residence in the Kendis Town area of north London was engulfed in flames.

The fire damaged the entrance to the house.

Starmer no longer lives in the house, having moved to Downing Street from July 2024, but he remains the owner.
