British police are investigating a small overnight fire that damaged the entrance of Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s London home, which has been rented out since he was elected in July. The incident, which occurred just after 1 a.m. local time, was extinguished within half an hour by firefighters. The Metropolitan Police confirmed that no one was hurt, and the fire is under investigation. The property, located in the Kentish Town neighborhood, has faced security concerns and protests, including the arrest of three pro-Palestinian activists in 2023 after they unfurled a banner covered in red handprints outside the house. Starmer, who lives with his family in the prime minister’s official Downing Street residence, has no immediate plans to return to the property, which has become a focal point for demonstrations. The police have put up cordons at the scene while inquiries continue, emphasizing the need to determine the cause of the fire. The incident highlights ongoing tensions around public figures’ residences and the broader context of political activism in the UK.
