OFFICIALS were last night investigating possible Russian involvement in arson attacks at properties linked to Keir Starmer.

The probe comes as three Ukrainian-born men were charged after two homes and a car were torched.

The government is looking at whether the men were recruited by the Kremlin. Police are said to be keeping an "open mind".

Petro Pochynok, 34, is accused of conspiring to damage by fire with intent to endanger life.

The PM's former Toyota was set alight on May 8, followed by a flat where he once lived in Islington, North London, on May 11, and his old home in Kentish Town, which he rents to family, on May 12.
