Counter-terrorism policing London has been notified of our decision, and no further information is available at this early stage.” Widdecombe, 78, a Reform UK spokesperson and former Conservative minister, was found dead on 9 July at her home in Haytor on Dartmoor, Devon, having sustained serious injuries.
