Damage was caused to the entrance of a property belonging to the prime minister in Kentish Town, but nobody was hurt, the police said.

Counterterrorism police are investigating a fire at Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer’s north London home in the early hours of Monday morning. The fire at the four-bedroom house, which Starmer has rented out to tenants since moving to 10 Downing Street in July last year, caused damage to the property’s entrance, the Metropolitan Police said.
