A second guy has been taken into custody by police about three arson attacks that targeted the prime minister.
The 26-year-old was arrested around 1.45 pm on Saturday at London Luton Airport on suspicion of conspiracy to commit arson with intent to endanger life.
The Eastern Region Special Operations Unit counterterrorism police made the arrest. The guy has been arrested by London police.
The arrest relates to three incidents – a vehicle fire in NW5 on 8 May, a fire at the entrance of a property in N7 on 11 May and a fire at a residential address in NW5 in the early hours of 12 May.
The arrest follows the arrest of 21-year-old Roman Lavrynovych, of Sydenham, on Thursday, who emerged in court charged with three counts of arson with intent to endanger life.
It is understood that the three arson targets were the Prime Minister’s £2 million north London property, which was set alight on Monday night, just days after the torching of a car and an apartment which the Labour leader had once owned.
Met Police said that as all three targets of the arson attacks have ‘previous connections with a high-profile public figure’, officers from the Met’s Counter Terrorism Command are leading the investigation.
Sir Keir has let the four-bedroom house in Kentish Town to his sister-in-law on a peppercorn rent since he moved into Downing Street last year.
The fire damaged the porch of the property, but firefighters were able to bring it under control within 20 minutes, preventing it from spreading further indoors.
The doors of two homes connected to the Prime Minister in north London both suffered fire damage within 24 hours of each other.
It came after a Toyota Rav 4 on Sir Keir’s street erupted into flames on VE Day.
It is believed that the car’s owner, the prime minister’s neighbour, believed that a defective battery was the cause of the fire. The hybrid vehicle was totally wrecked.
City mayor Sir Sadiq Khan said the three fires had left the Prime Minister’s family feeling ‘frightened’ for their safety.
He told LBC Radio: ‘Don’t underestimate the ripples of fear that [his wife] Vic and the kids felt when they will have read this stuff in the paper.
‘But for the grace of God, they are safe thankfully, in Downing Street, they’ve got a protection team.’
Someone wants to get rid of Starmer.
When crime affects Keir Starmer and his entourage, it’s classed as a ‘terror attack’, but if it were the same offence affecting Joe Public, it would be classed as ‘arson.’ Once again, it’s two-tier justice.
All of this is so strange. Strange is inevitable, though, if Starmer is involved.
This was no mastermind terrorist attack that had been set up – it was more like a Mr Bean sketch and completely nonsensical. Seems to me whoever they were, they were making a point, and something definitely smells a bit off, and why is the Counter Terrorism Unit dealing with this?
Ordinary people would have an ordinary detective dealing with this, and they wouldn’t have such a quick outcome. It would be a crime reference number, and you would be told to wait in line.
If his family had been home, things would have been quite different. But this is for sympathy, but forget it; people don’t care a monkeys, so Keir won’t get it.
