Police have launched an urgent probe a fire broke out at Sir Keir Starmer’s home in north London in the early hours of this morning.
The London Fire Brigade attended the property after reports of a fire shortly after 1.30am. The door to the property was damaged, but nobody was hurt.
The LFB confirmed there was "damage" to the front of the home - but the blaze was swiftly brought under control.
At one point, a length of the street was cordoned off to all vehicles. Sir Keir is understood to still own the home, but lives at the Prime Minister’s official residence in Downing Street.
The home has been targeted repeatedly by protesters, including pro-Palestinian activists who have staged demonstrations outside the property.
A Met Police spokesman said: “On Monday, 12 May at 01:35hrs, police were alerted by the London Fire Brigade to reports of a fire at a residential address.
“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. Anyone with information is asked to call police on 101 quoting CAD 441/12 May.”
A Downing Street spokesman said: “The prime minister thanks the emergency services for their work. The incident is subject to a live investigation and we won’t be commenting further."
