Widdecombe Murder Was ‘Targeted Attack’

Counter-terrorism police said the killing of former Conservative MP Ann Widdecombe was a targeted attack that involved planning, and they are investigating a possible leftwing or single-issue motive.

Police also launched an investigation into a former Labour candidate who posted on social media that she hoped Widdecombe had “screamed in agony.” Nigel Farage has organized a private security detail and claimed a government offer of protection was inadequate, while police warned against speculation and attempts by some to weaponize the death.
