Fire breaks out 'at Keir Starmer's house' as entire road closed off following blaze

The Metropolitan Police are investigating after a fire reportedly broke out at the Prime Minister's personal home in North London this morning.

The force say that police were alerted by the London fire brigade at 01:35 in the morning "at a residential address in Countess Road, NW5."

The address is understood to be the family home of Keir Starmer, where he lived with his wife and children before moving into No.10 Downing Street after his election victory last week.

A cordon is now in place shutting down the whole street in Islington.

The Met continued: "Officers attended the scene. Damage was caused to the property's entrance, nobody was hurt."

"The fire is being investigated and cordons remain in place while enquiries continue.
