A hotel worker refused to film a friend's "stupid" plan to burn a car linked to the Prime Minister, saying it was a serious crime. Stanislav Carpiuc told jurors on Wednesday he rejected Roman Lavrynovych's request to film the alleged arson attack for money. A Toyota Rav4, which once belonged to Sir Keir Starmer, was burnt out in Kentish Town last May.
