A 21-year-old man was charged Thursday with three counts of arson for fires that targeted two properties and a car linked to British Prime Minister Keir Starmer.

Sir Keir Starmer 's house in north London that was "firebombed" was being rented to his sister-in-law, it has emerged. The four bedroom town house was reportedly doused in an accelerant and set light in the early hours of Monday, sparking a probe by counter-terror police.

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