EXCERPT:
After months of violence and riots, Britian has been rocked by yet another murder. Pro-life politician and Catholic convert Ann Widdecombe, a staunch defender of life and family, was found brutally murdered in her home in Haytor, Devon on Dartmoor on Thursday. Local police were quick to declare the former member of parliament’s (MP’s) death a random incident and rule out a political or terrorist motive, but had to backtrack on Monday, instead handing the investigation over to Britain’s counter-terrorism police.
Widdecombe was first elected to Parliament as a member of the Conservative Party in 1987 and quickly distinguished herself as a vocal defender of the unborn and of Christian moral principles, including opposition to same-sex marriage. It was generally understood during her time in Parliament that Widdecombe would not accept a position as Health secretary should the Conservatives take power, since she refused to be responsible for licensing abortions, a duty under the Health secretary’s purview. Widdecombe retired from Parliament in 2010 but returned to politics nearly a decade later as a member of the Brexit Party in the European Parliament. She later joined Brexit Party’s successor, Reform U.K., as a spokeswoman for immigration and justice and policy.
