A 28-year-old man has been charged with arson after Labour MP Sharon Hodgson's constituency office was devastated by a fire.
Joshua Oliver has been charged after a major fire at the MPs office in Concord, Washington, the Crown Prosecution Service said.
Shocking aerial images previously showed the extent of the damage caused to the Washington and Gateshead South MP's office, with its roof almost entirely destroyed.
It was previously reported that '328 days blood on your hands' was scrawled on the wall during the attack.
However the message had been sprayed on the premises many months before the incident occurred overnight this week.
