A man convicted for his role in a plot to target Sir Keir Starmer in a series of arson attacks has been deported from the country.
Stanislav Carpiuc, 28 and from Romania , was one of two “useful idiots” recruited by a Russian-speaking mastermind to target a car and two houses linked to the former prime minister in North London last May.
Carpiuc has now been removed from the UK, the Home Office said on Friday. He is subject to a re-entry ban as part of his deportation.
