Two men have been convicted of carrying out a string of arson attacks on a car and properties linked to the Labour leader, Sir Keir Starmer. The incidents, which took place in North London, were deemed to be politically motivated by police investigators.
The guilty verdicts come as the Labour Party steps up its security measures following the attacks. In response to the incidents, party officials have increased the number of personal protection officers assigned to Sir Keir Starmer's team.
Prosecutors alleged that the two men, who were not named for legal reasons, had deliberately targeted properties linked to the Labour leader in an attempt to intimidate him and his family. The court heard that the attacks caused significant damage to several properties, including a car owned by Sir Keir Starmer's wife.
The trial, which lasted several weeks, heard from numerous witnesses, including neighbours and security experts who testified about the extent of the damage caused by the attacks.
