International pro-life leader assassinated at home
Ann Widdecombe was a British politician and devout Catholic convert whose common sense and unabashed conservatism made her a popular target for leftist abuse, including by at least one official in the current Labour government.
Widdecombe — a 78-year-old patron of Right to Life UK and Reform UK immigration spokeswoman who fought for the rights of the unborn, against euthanasia, against LGBT imperialism, against climate alarmism, and for Britain's departure from the European Union — was assassinated in her home in Devon, England, earlier this month.
'He had expressed his hatred of me on more than one occasion.'
Widdecombe's suspected killer, 28-year-old Joshua Kerry, appears to be yet another bloodthirsty leftist.
Police responded to the pro-lifer's home on July 9 after her lifeless body was discovered lying in the kitchen. As Widdecombe's grievous injuries could not be explained by a fall, detectives promptly launched an investigation into the murder, which is believed to have occurred just after noon on July 8.
On July 10, Kerry — whom Reform UK Leader Nigel Farage claimed, on "good authority," to be a "hard-left activist" and "intolerant individual obsessed with Soviet communism" — was arrested on suspicion of murder in what was initially figured for a burglary gone wrong.
Kerry was reportedly caught on CCTV leaving his Rotherham residence, approximately a four-hour drive away from Widdecombe's house, early on the day of the murder. Before leaving, he also was allegedly spotted by neighbors putting "some kind of wooden pole" into his car.

Assistant Chief Matt Longman of Devon and Cornwall Police urged the public "not to speculate about what might have happened," and stressed that he had "no information to believe that that is a politically motivated crime."
However, one Reform UK source said at the time, "It is clear to everybody that we are being gaslit by the police."
Devon and Cornwall Police cut Kerry loose the next morning, claiming he "is no longer part of the investigation," but hours later, Kerry was rearrested at his home in Rotherham — this time by Counter Terrorism Policing North East and South Yorkshire Police — on suspicion of murder and the "commission, preparation, or instigation of acts of terrorism."
Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood subsequently announced that counter-terrorism police had taken the lead in the investigation into Widdecombe's death, and Laurence Taylor, head of National Counter Terrorism Policing, said the investigation had turned up "new information and evidence" pointing to the murder having been a "targeted attack."
'Why are we targeted like this? Because we say things that are unfashionable among many in Westminster.'
A source told the Sun (U.K.) that in their search of Kerry's house, they found clippings of news articles about Reform UK, its leader Nigel Farage, and the party's immigration policies.
"It would appear he had a profound dislike of the party, its leader, and its policies," said the source.
Farage alleged in an article on Saturday that the suspect "attended various marches and hated anyone with an opposing view. He had expressed his hatred of me on more than one occasion."
Courtney Foster, a woman who lives near the suspect, told the Telegraph, "He rarely comes out of the house — his dad used to do everything for him, and I don't know what he did for a living."
Kerry's dad recently passed away.
"I think once his dad died, he went a bit loopy," added Foster.
In addition to seizing Kerry's electronic devices, police also seized a red Vauxhall Corsa believed to have belonged to the murder suspect.
Zia Yusuf, Reform UK's home affairs spokesman, accused Labour, Liberal Democrats, and Tory politicians of setting the stage for the attack with their rhetoric.
"I can tell you about the climate in which she was killed, a relentless narrative from politicians and the media that Reform UK is a threat, a threat to be urgently stopped," said Yusuf. "A narrative so relentless it constitutes incitement. And why are we targeted like this? Because we say things that are unfashionable among many in Westminster but are popular in the country at large."
Farage recently celebrated his fallen friend, stating, "This was somebody who gave her life to public service, to fighting for the things that she believed in."

Dead body found at home owned by husband of 'defund the police' Democrat Ayanna Pressley
Massachusetts police say they are investigating the discovery of a dead person's remains at a Mattapan home owned by the husband of a Democratic congresswoman.
The property is a multi-family rental building that is owned by Conan Harris, husband of Democratic Rep. Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts.
'My heart goes out to the family that lost a loved one today in Mattapan.'
Police said they went to the property on Saturday at about 1:52 p.m. and found a person who appeared to be dead from a single gunshot wound. The family of the victim later identified her as an 18-year-old female.
The homicide unit is investigating the incident.
"We got home, and there were police coming down the street; they blocked it off with crime tape over there, and neighbors were gathered around," said Ari, a woman who lives on the same street as the location of the incident.
"The Congresswoman extends her deepest condolences to the impacted family," read a statement from a Pressley spokesperson.
Harris posted a message on Facebook about the incident.
"Thank you everyone for the care and concern, our family is safe," the statement read. "My heart goes out to the family that lost a loved one today in Mattapan."
Boston Democratic Mayor Michelle Wu also released a statement.
"I know the situation is still under investigation, and Boston police are diligently trying to pursue the information they can get," she said at an event Sunday in Roxbury,

Pressley, a member of the far-left radical Democratic group known as the "Squad," was first elected to Congress in 2018. She has repeatedly excoriated the criminal justice system as racist.
"Our families and communities continue to be plagued and destabilized by the overlapping crises of mass incarceration, police brutality, and over-criminalization," she said in May 2025, adding that "black and brown communities" continue to endure "an unprecedented assault" from the second Trump administration.
In June 2020, she also boldly declared, "Yes, I support the defund movement," and called for "restorative justice practices."
"Why are we deploying the police when there's an individual battling mental illness?"
Online records indicate the property was last sold in 2021 for $340,000 in 2021. It was listed for sale at the price of $1.15 million, but the listing was removed on Saturday.

Meet the New Boss: Socialist Andy Burnham Installed as British Prime Minister, Announces '10 Year Plan' to Fix Country
Veteran Westminster swamp creature turned 'King of the North' political chameleon Andy Burnham has been given the keys to Number 10 Downing Street, officially taking over the office of Prime Minister on Monday after Sir Keir Starmer was forced to resign just over two years after taking power.

Your recovery may depend on the pharmacist down the street
As a physical therapist, I have seen the same problem countless times. A patient makes steady progress for months, then suddenly plateaus. The exercises have not changed. The injury has not worsened. The patient is doing everything right, yet lingering pain or weakness will not budge.
After some investigation, we often find the cause: a medication problem. A prescription changed. A refill was delayed. A side effect went unrecognized. The patient’s body began responding differently, and the rehabilitation plan stalled.
Protecting pharmacy access is not a favor to one industry. It is part of protecting the patient’s path back to health.
Physical therapy, prescribing, and pharmacy cannot operate as separate worlds. Most patients who enter my clinic have at least one chronic condition, one prescription, or both. Medication can affect pain, balance, fatigue, inflammation, and healing. The pharmacist who understands a patient’s history and drug regimen belongs on the care team, not outside it.
Physical therapy can often reduce pain and restore movement without long-term reliance on medication. But after surgery or during a complicated recovery, pharmaceutical support may play an essential role. Patients do best when movement, hands-on care, and medication work together deliberately rather than through guesswork.
Recovery already asks a great deal of patients. A death in the family, an unexpected bill, or a difficult work schedule can disrupt appointments and home exercise. Those obstacles are hard, but patients can usually manage them with planning and support.
A collapsing pharmacy network is different. Patients cannot will a closed counter back into service, reach an unavailable pharmacist, or fill a prescription that remains trapped in a broken system.
Look at San Francisco, which now faces a “pharmacy crisis.” National chains have closed locations, while independent pharmacies struggle to survive. In Missouri, state officials are suing CVS and other pharmacy benefit managers over insulin pricing. Lawmakers may intend to lower costs, but poorly designed interventions can destabilize the same pharmacy networks patients depend on.
The ownership model is secondary. A national chain and a neighborhood independent may operate differently, but either can provide essential access. When either disappears, patients lose timely refills, answers about side effects, and help resolving dosing questions. In physical therapy, that can mean slower progress, cautious loading, missed sessions, and avoidable setbacks.
A short-staffed pharmacy creates similar problems. Patients struggle to reach prescribers and may wait days for guidance. Pharmacists often serve as the most accessible medication experts in the health care system, but accessibility requires someone behind the counter with enough time to listen.
When those questions go unanswered, therapists are left working around uncertainty. We may not know whether dizziness comes from the exercise program, the underlying condition, or a new medication. We may have to delay progress because safe rehabilitation does not permit guessing.

I see the opposite when pharmacy access works. Sometimes a pharmacist’s clarification or a small medication adjustment helps a patient move past the last trace of a limp. Sometimes it allows a musician to use his fingers comfortably again. When the pharmacy side of the plan aligns with physical therapy, patients can recover faster without adding unnecessary costs or complications.
The care I provide is important, but recovery succeeds through cooperation. Physical therapists restore movement. Prescribers diagnose and choose treatments. Pharmacists catch interactions, explain side effects, and help patients use medications safely. Large chains and local independents both employ professionals who perform that work every day.
Pharmacists have become “integral to chronic disease management.” Policymakers should treat them that way. Any reform aimed at drug prices, corporate practices, or pharmacy benefit managers should begin with a basic test: Will patients retain reliable access to a pharmacist?
When the answer is no, the consequences reach far beyond the pharmacy counter. They appear in rehabilitation clinics, physician offices, emergency rooms, and patients’ homes.
Good rehabilitation depends on movement expertise and medication expertise working together. Protecting pharmacy access is not a favor to one industry. It is part of protecting the patient’s path back to health.
