LONDON (Reuters) -British police are investigating an overnight fire at a house belonging to Prime Minister Keir Starmer in north London in which nobody was hurt.
"The Prime Minister thanks the emergency services for their work. The incident is subject to a live investigation and we will therefore not be commenting further," a spokesperson for Starmer's Downing Street office said.
Police said in a statement, without mentioning the British leader, that they were called to reports of a fire at around 01:35 local time (0035 GMT).
"Officers attended the scene. Damage was caused to the property’s entrance, nobody was hurt," London's Metropolitan Police said. "The fire is being investigated and cordons remain in place while enquiries continue."
The London Fire Brigade said it attended a "small fire".
Starmer, who has a home in north London, has lived at his Downing Street office and residence since becoming prime minister last July.
