The 6 Big Problems Facing Andy Burnham As He Prepares To Become Prime Minister huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/andy-bur…

Someone has been arrested in connection with the death of Ann Widdecombe - that means publishing anything, including posts on X, which risks seriously prejudicing a trial, is an offence. It also doesn’t help her friends and family in obtaining justice. Link in next post…

Ouch...

@Nolberto099 @Binkum Can you point me towards anything I've made up?

@KevinASchofield @Binkum If the police could be trusted to tell the truth (we know they can't) maybe people wouldn't. Good for her we now know journalists are deliberately making stuff up about Ann for their own goals of trying to get at Reform. You and Dan Hodges being two prime despicable examples.

Good to know the police’s plea that no one speculate on the motive behind Ann Widdecombe’s alleged murder is being heeded.

@LeoKearse The reason you know about the Labour donations is they were declared, unlike Nigel’s £5m. That’s a pretty fundamental difference.

With Reform looking inevitable, the establishment is panicking, pulling out every bit of European-style lawfare and harassment to stop them. The latest is an investigation into £5 million received from a Bitcoin billionaire. I'd like to see the Labour politician who can turn down five million quid. In fact I don't remember Labour agonising over the ethical implications of receiving £11 million from unions, the conflict of interest in receiving £6 million from energy tycoon Dale Vince, or the dodginess of receiving £4 million from a Cayman Islands-based hedge fund. They've ramped up the harassment as well, with journalists staking out Farage's daughter's home. No wonder nobody wants to run against the establishment. Farage called a by-election to draw a line under these matters and the establishment parties - the Tories, Labour, Lib Dems, Greens - are all boycotting the vote, creating an inverted cordon sanitaire. Would be nice if they could do that at the general election too.

Former Tory MP Harvey Proctor told The Times: "Ann Widdecombe was far too dear to her family, friends and former colleagues for her murder to be exploited as political propaganda. The police have expressly asked the public not to speculate about the motive. It is therefore deeply disappointing that Nigel Farage has chosen to do precisely that."

Scoop: Andy Burnham will vote FOR Shabana Mahmood's immigration crackdown in the Commons tonight. Dozens of Labour MPs had written to him urging him to water down the Immigration and Asylum Bill, warning the party is “losing progressive voters”. But a spokesperson tells HuffPost UK: "This Bill takes important steps towards restoring confidence by tackling illegal crossings while strengthening safe and legal routes for genuine refugees. "This is about ensuring the system is fair both to those seeking protection and to the communities that welcome them." Story 👇 huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/andy-bur…

An MP messages: “Each MP is afforded personal security at their advice surgery and constituency engagements should they wish. “We’re also able to make use of physical security measures at our homes and offices - including cameras, door strengthening devices, and alarm systems. “And we’re able to carry personal alarms with us, which are provided by Parliament, and can be activated to alert a call centre - and the police - should we find ourselves in a dangerous situation.”

High time the police revealed all their evidence and CCTV footage so that randoms on the internet can know everything about the investigation. Get those Jay Slater TikTok sleuths involved too

A superb thread on why, if you really care about justice for Ann Widdecombe, you should keep your half-baked and ill informed theories to yourself Cc @NadineDorries

It’s quite simple, really. Manager praises players after winning WC quarter final is not news. Manager criticises players after winning WC quarter final is news. Asking one of those players for a response to manager’s criticism is good journalism.

So Tuchel and Bellingham, two grown ups, big personalities and professionals who are ALWAYS opinionated have answered some fairly straightforward questions and people are managing to blame... Gabriel Clarke! You lot are jokers

Police urge people not to speculate about the motive for the alleged murder of Ann Widdecombe as they day there is nothing to suggest it was politically motivated huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/police-u…

One other thing. It’s not just that the speculation from Reform supporters is unhelpful for the police investigation. They have specifically been told the speculation is upsetting to Ann Widdecombe’s family. And yet they are carrying on regardless.
