Summary A 26-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of murder following the death of Ann Widdecombe, police say

Devon and Cornwall Police say a white British male is in custody after the 78-year-old was found at her home on Thursday with serious injuries

The incident is not being treated as terrorism and there is "no information" to suggest it was politically motivated, they add

Police say it is too early to comment on whether the suspect was known to Widdecombe

PM Keir Starmer says the murder investigation is "shocking news", while Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch says she is "stunned" over the "horrific" incident

Widdecombe, a former Conservative minister turned Reform UK spokeswoman, served as the MP for Maidstone in Kent for 23 years

Apparatchik ~ And British.

The not quite perfect patsy to take the heat off of their beloved swarthy immigrants.

They need to add Christian.

So its just a random, young white guy, roaming the countryside looking to burgle or murder elderly people.

And its just fate that a controversial conservative/Catholic PM just happened to the random victim

So the marxist British deep state can STAND DOWN!

Ann Widdecombe:
“No one has the right to live their lives being protected from offence or hurt feelings - it is an occupational hazard of living in a society. If you can’t take it, become a hermit.”

May she forever rest in peace.
