STATEMENT: The man charged with murdering Ann Widdecombe with a hammer has now also been charged with preparing acts of terror against Nigel Farage MP. Today, a court heard he allegedly travelled to Nigel's home last year and tried to break in. A bottle of lighter fluid was found on the porch. This apparent firebomb attempt was investigated at the time. The police received CCTV footage of the incident. It has since been revealed that CCTV from Nigel's home captured both a suspect and their car "over an extended period". And yet, despite being in possession of that CCTV footage, the police claimed they could identify no suspects and closed the case. Read those last two sentences again. Counter-terror police have since referred themselves to the police watchdog, which is investigating a member of their staff. Why did it take the brutal murder of my dear friend Ann for the police to do their jobs? Anger does not begin to describe how we at Reform feel about this. The Police and the Home Secretary have serious questions to answer about how threats against Reform are handled. This is not going away.
