The command against the terrorism of the Metropolitan Police has directed the investigation into fires due to the connection with a high profile public figure.

Emergency services responded to a fire in the early hours of Monday at Kentish Town’s house, where Sir Keir lives before becoming prime minister and moving to 10 Downing Street.
