Police investigate fire at Sir Keir Starmer’s house | |
(32 minutes later) | |
Police are investigating after a fire at UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer's house in north London in the early hours of the morning. | |
Damage was caused to the property's entrance in Kentish Town, but nobody was hurt. A cordon is in place outside the house. | |
The London Fire Brigade said it had been called to a "small fire" at 01:11 BST and it was under control about 20 minutes later. | |
Sir Keir thanked the emergency services for their work, his official spokesman said. The prime minister - who now lives at his official residence in Downing Street - is understood to still own the property. | |
"The prime minister thanks the emergency services for their work," his official spokesman said. "It is subject to a live investigation so I can't comment further." | |
The spokesman declined to provide any further details when asked whether any members of Sir Keir's family were in the house when the fire started. | |
At one stage the length of the street had been cordoned off. |
