Russia Linked to Arson Attacks on Starmer

British police have linked Russia to a series of arson attacks targeting properties connected to Prime Minister Keir Starmer.

A suspected Russian diplomat is accused of recruiting Ukrainian and Romanian nationals to carry out the attacks, which involved setting fire to a home and a car linked to Starmer in 2025.

Two men have been convicted for their roles in the plot.

The revelations, emerging alongside the high-profile seizure of a Russian shadow fleet vessel, have prompted ministers to face calls for a public inquiry into Russian interference in UK politics.
