Counter terror officers are investigating a suspected arson attack at Sir Keir Starmer's £2million north London home.
Emergency crews descended on the property in the north west of the capital in the early hours of this morning.
Forensics officers have been seen combing for evidence outside the townhouse all day after the blaze broke out at 1.11am.
Neighbours told how they heard a loud bang before the entire street was cordoned off following a fire at the property.
Scotland Yard's SO15 counter terrorism command has now launched an investigation, with sources telling MailOnline it was routine given the high profile nature of the owner.
