A third man has been charged as part of an investigation into a series of fires in north London linked to Keir Starmer.

Ukrainian national Petro Pochynok, 34, has been charged with conspiracy to commit arson with intent to endanger life.

He was arrested in the Chelsea area of London on Monday and is due to appear at Westminster Magistrates’ Court at 10am today.

The charge relates to three arson incidents: a vehicle fire in Kentish Town, a fire at the Prime Minister's private home on the same street, and another blaze at an address where he previously lived in the Islington area.

One of the fires took place on May 12 at the home where Sir Keir lived before he became Prime Minister and moved into Downing Street.
