Police have launched an investigation into the cause of a fire that broke out at the home of British Prime Minister Keir Starmer in north London, The Guardian reports.
The fire broke out at around 1.30am on 12 May. Firefighters managed to put out the blaze in less than 30 minutes. According to them, no one was injured and the fire only damaged the front door. Starmer currently lives with his family in the official residence on Downing Street, and the four-bedroom house in the Kentish Town area is rented out.
A cordon has been set up at the scene, with police and London Fire Brigade investigators working.
The fire came just after Keir Starmer announced a new government plan to tighten immigration rules. Under the new reforms, the length of time you can live in the UK to gain permanent residence will be increased from five to ten years. In his statement at X, Starmer said: "We are ending the UK's experiment with open borders. For too long, businesses have been actively encouraging the hiring of low-paid workers rather than investing in their own people. We are fixing the system and re-establishing control at our borders."
The home Starmer and his wife Victoria bought in 2004 has been attacked by protesters before. Last year, three people were found guilty of public order offences after a pro-Palestinian demonstration outside the house.
