A Day of Double Disasters: Blaze at PM’s Home, London Metro Brought to a Standstil

International News:The news of a fire in the family residence of British Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer in North London in the early hours of Monday alerted the administration and security agencies. The fire brigade and the Metropolitan Police team immediately reached the spot to extinguish the fire that broke out early in the morning local time and took the situation under control.

Although there was no loss of life in this incident, the main door of the house has been partially damaged. Police investigation into the cause of the fire is ongoing and the spot has been cordoned off. It is worth noting that since becoming the Prime Minister, Starmer has been living in the official residence at Downing Street and this house is now rented out. Despite this, the incident has raised questions about the security of the country's top leadership.

Underground train service halted

On the same day, London suffered another setback when the underground network, considered the lifeline of the city, was halted due to a power supply disruption.

Millions of passengers faced trouble during the afternoon rush hour

According to Transport for London (TfL), this technical disruption lasted only for a few minutes but its impact was huge on the entire system. According to preliminary information, it was a technical fault related to the "National Grid" which shook the entire network. During this time, Bakerloo and Suffragette lines were completely closed, while Elizabeth, Jubilee and Northern lines were suspended for some time. Thousands of people were stranded on the platforms and travel plans were completely ruined.

Two incidents, one day: London's preparedness under question

Two serious incidents in a single day made it clear that the British capital can be vulnerable to internal crises. While on the one hand the fire in the Prime Minister's house is a security alert, on the other hand the instability of the city's energy system has exposed the business and civic system of London.

What next? Government's silence and public's restlessness

Now that the news of fire in the Prime Minister's house and power outage in the city has become public, the government's response is awaited. Amidst questions being raised on security and basic services, the people of Britain are demanding satisfactory answers and a concrete plan.
