Former MP and reality TV star Ann Widdecombe found murdered in her home
TalkTV host Peter Cardwell pays tribute to former MP and TV personality Ann Widdecombe, following her death at the age of 78. “She was a much-loved, slightly controversial, very blunt politician, who was a member of Nigel Farage’s Reform UK,” Mr Cardwell told Sky News Australia. “Strictly Come Dancing was the one so many people remember her for because her dancing wasn’t brilliant, but she really lent into it. “It’s really shocked the nation that she is dead … a 26-year-old white British man has been arrested on suspicion (of murder).”

Hannah Spencer vs Reform: 'The Maths Is Not Maths-ing'
What could be funnier than the idea that Nigel Farage is an honest man? On Newsnight, Green party MP Hannah Spencer faced off against Reform's candidate for London mayor Laila Cunningham – and laughed at the suggestion that Farage has been "very honest" amid a scandal over an undeclared £5m gift. Spencer said Farage’s decision to trigger and then stand in a new byelection – which he has presented as a referendum on his character amid allegations of wrongdoing – will be bad for his constituents. "What it does is it throws people in that constituency, who are already struggling, like so many people in the country, into further turmoil," Spencer said.
