British authorities have arrested a 21-year-old man in connection with a series of suspected arson attacks targeting properties associated with Prime Minister Keir Starmer. The Metropolitan Police confirmed the arrest early Tuesday, following incidents at two North London locations linked to the Prime Minister. The suspect is being held on suspicion of arson with intent to endanger life, as investigations continue into the fires that caused damage but no injuries.

The first incident occurred in the early hours of Monday at the entrance of Starmer's former family home in Kentish Town, a property he now rents out. A second fire was reported a day earlier at another North London property connected to the Prime Minister. Additionally, authorities are examining a vehicle fire from May 8 for possible links to the case. The Metropolitan Police's Counter Terrorism Command is leading the investigation, given the high-profile nature of the incidents.

Emergency services responded promptly to the fires, ensuring no injuries were reported. The Prime Minister's spokesperson expressed gratitude towards the emergency services for their swift action and emphasized the ongoing nature of the investigation, refraining from further comment. The motive behind the attacks remains unclear, with no confirmed link between the suspect and Starmer disclosed by the police at this time.

This series of events has drawn attention to the security of public figures in the UK, as the investigation seeks to uncover any potential connections between the incidents. The arrest marks a significant development in the case, as authorities work to determine the full scope of the suspect's involvement and any possible motives. The public and media alike await further updates from the Metropolitan Police as the investigation progresses.

Kilcoo secured their place in Down football history on Sunday, capturing an unprecedented seventh consecutive Senior Football Championship title with a 1-17 to 1-11 victory over Carryduff at Pairc Esler. The Magpies delivered their strongest performance of the championship when it mattered most, with Paul Devlin's first-half penalty goal providing crucial separation in a hard-fought contest that saw the throw-in time pushed back to 5pm following a pitch inspection.

The match, originally scheduled for 3:30pm, saw Kilcoo demonstrate the championship experience that has defined their remarkable 12-title run over 13 seasons. Devlin's 22nd-minute penalty strike down the middle proved decisive, with the player explaining his calculated approach: "It was a big moment in the game and it needed to go in, so I didn't want to put it in the corner and the keeper has a chance if diving. I just thought I wanted to hit it hard."

Carryduff, making their first final appearance since losing to Kilcoo in the 2020 decider, mounted a second-half rally but ultimately fell short of claiming what would have been their inaugural Frank O'Hare Cup. The South Belfast club had powered past Burren in the semi-final with their full contingent available, but couldn't overcome Kilcoo's championship pedigree despite showing improved form from their previous final appearance five years earlier.

Devlin expressed satisfaction with the victory amid external skepticism, noting "it's nice to see that people want Kilcoo to fall" while emphasizing the team's resilience. "This one is sweet with how the game played out and the build-up where we were doubted in this year's championship," he told BBC Sport NI. "It just shows the character of this team. Big teams play well in big games and we have that experience to put in those big performances." The win solidifies Kilcoo's status as the dominant force in Down football, achieving a landmark that had eluded them when Burren denied their seventh consecutive title bid in 2018.
