Reform UK Councillor Darren Grimes reacts to a trans activist under investigation for celebrating the murder of former Conservative MP Ann Widdecombe. “It speaks, does it not, to the mental sickness of the trans activist movement … this was somebody actually reading that a 78-year-old woman had died alone and publicly hoping that she’d suffered the most excruciating death possible,” Mr Grimes told Sky News host Rita Panahi. “I do view this as a sick individual that hoped Anne had been restrained … and when it emerged that Anne’s death was being treated as a murder, didn’t have a sudden streak of human decency but actually doubled down … it’s a sickness.”
