EXCERPT:
Incoming Prime Minister Andy Burnham called for a “serious review” of security for Members of Parliament following the targeted murder of veteran pro-life advocate and Reform UK figure Ann Widdecombe.
Widdecombe, 78, a former Conservative MP for Maidstone and MEP, was found dead at her home in Haytor on Dartmoor, Devon, earlier this week. Police have described the killing as a targeted attack.
Counter-terrorism officers are leading the investigation, and a 28-year-old white British man remains in custody on suspicion of murder and on suspicion of the commission, preparation or instigation of acts of terrorism.
Burnham, who is expected to enter Downing Street soon, expressed shock at the killing of a politician he had known for many years.
