Britain’s counter-terrorism police on Tuesday led an investigation after a 21-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of arson following fires at London homes linked with Prime Minister Keir Starmer.

The Metropolitan Police said the man was arrested late on Monday night and remains in custody on suspicion of “arson with intent to endanger life”.

While the police has only referred to the properties targeted over the course of the past five days as having connections with a “high-profile public figure”, media reports have established that they are all associated with Starmer.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
