London court convicts two men of arson plot targeting properties linked to UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer.

Two men were convicted on Monday for a plot to set fire to properties linked to British Prime Minister Keir Starmer in May 2025. A Ukrainian national and a Romanian citizen were found guilty of conspiracy to damage property by fire, while a third defendant was acquitted. The fires damaged a home Starmer had moved out of, an apartment building he once co-owned, and destroyed his former vehicle.
