Mr Farage, who was not home at the time of the alleged attack and found the damage when he returned home, earlier described it as an “outright arson attempt”. But CTP London has now reopened its probe, saying it had identified a line of inquiry “which may have been relevant” but was “not identified and pursued by them at the time”. The Reform leader used a press conference on Monday to claim that a previous fire-bombing attack on his house is “directly linked to the murder of Ann Widdecombe”. It comes after 28-year-old Joshua Kerry was charged last month with the murder of Ms Widdecombe, who was killed in her home in Devon last month. The Independent understands that Mr Farage is “horrified” that the attack on his home in 2025 is being reinvestigated by detectives investigating Ms Widdecombe’s murder.
