News about Ann Widdecombe

The 69-year-old father of five was stabbed to death while meeting constituents at Belfairs Methodist Church in Leigh-on-Sea, Essex, on October 15 in 2021. Sir David's killer, Ali Harbi Ali, was found guilty of murder and handed a whole-life prison term at the Old Bailey in 2022. A life-size statue of the former Southend West MP, positioned on a grass bank by Chalkwell Esplanade looking out over the estuary, has now been unveiled. Sir David's widow, Lady Julia Amess, attended along with other family members and listened to songs from the Music Man Project, a group championed by Sir David which teaches music to children and adults with learning disabilities, and from the Orpheus Choir. The event, which had a visible police presence, was also attended by politicians including Dame Priti Patel, who was home secretary at the time of Sir David's death, and former Tory MP Ann Widdecombe (both inset).

SARAH VINE: At the risk of sounding like an aged aunt peering at the modern world through her eyeglass, pearls firmly clutched in one hand, scented handkerchief in the other, what is wrong with people these days? Money, sex, drink, and medications: Very few are immune, except perhaps William Hague (left), who is the only politician I've ever encountered who has no vices (unless you count being stupendously smug and self-satisfied). Maybe Ann Widdecombe. The rest of the people are just as vulnerable as the next one.

It comes as a result of rising calls for warnings ahead of some of Britain's most popular plays and pieces of literature. Theatre audiences have been warned of violence, abuse, bereavement, loud noises, and even references to smoking in recent years. The MP cautioned that audiences should not be treated like children, and that people should not be treated like teenagers.'

Ann had told her agent that she would never do the Big Brother. However, he said that they wanted to call it Big Sister for the upcoming season - but it didn't happen - and that it would commemorate 100 years of suffrage. As a result, there will be more knowledgeable people than ever before, and there will be more moderate discussions. Ann said, 'Load of tosh.' But she did it anyway, and her bill was estimated to be £100,000.

Following the confrontation, the officer may not have told the Harmonie London, 20, to avoid performing her songs, according to her. She says she was 'humiliated','sad', and 'bullied' after the incident. Following a performance of Amazing Grace, volunteer Maya Hadzhipetkova was accused of disrespecting the musician's fundamental right to expression and faith today. The Met has since confirmed that the suspected misconduct was due to unlicensed busking rather than the content of the songs she was performing, and that the video was part of a 43-minute discussion between the pair.

After a special constable wrongly said she could not'sing church songs outside of church grounds, a Christian singer confessed to being "humiliated." Harmonie London, 20, has accused Metropolitan Police volunteer Maya Hadzhipetkova of infringing her human right to expression and faith. Harmonie portrayed how she would have threatened to capture her keyboard and speakers if she didn't stop singing in an exclusive interview with MailOnline today, having already performed Amazing Grace and the new song Goodness of God. It comes as Scotland Yard continues to prosecute Ms Hadzhipetkova and look at body-worn footage of the terrifying incident on Oxford Street in Central London last Sunday. Harmony insists that the row was over a'specific bylaw relating to busking,' but that she was actually'sharing the gospel.' Ms Hadzhipetkova flexed her tongue out at the camera after warning the singer that she could not appear. Her behaviour provoked widespread condemnation, including ex-Conservative Minister Ann Widdecombe's words, "some people have a problem in this country with Christianity that they don't have with other faiths."

Policymakers, legislators, and the media are urged to reorder common phrases such as 'King and Queen' or 'brother and sister,' where the male comes first. It suggests that you may want to 'try swapping the order of these words every now and then.' According to bureaucrats, "Joe Public" should be replaced by the "average citizen" and "no man's property" should be substituted with 'unclaimed territory." Nick Fletcher, a Tory MP, has dismissed the recommendations as "nonsense," and said that the EU has 'far more pressing problems' that should be concerned about.

Ann Widdecombe is expected to leave a Michelin star chef wailing over her ineffective cookery skills in the forthcoming Celeb Cooking School series. The ex politician, who died in the kitchen alongside Made in Chelsea's Olivia Bentley, former TOWIE star James Argent, and Geordie Shore alum Scotty T. The intense cookery crash course has the celebrities sweating it out in the kitchen, causing a lot of chaos in the kitchen.

When it returns to screens next month, Big Brother's brand new series will feature a hot tub in the garden. The jacuzzi can be seen already set up in the colourful and partially constructed garden in aerial photographs obtained by The Sun. The tub would have spawned a whole slew of raunchy moments during the show's original run, and fans of the show would no doubt be delighted.

ANDREW PIERCE: The Widders emailed Boris, who announced it had been a fraudulent ruse, with a note that it had been 'Vote Tory.' However, no one has been able to determine whether it was a stunt by a rival party or an attempted media sting. Widdecombe is no stranger to cases of mistaken identity. After standing down as an MP at the 2010 election, she was driving on a motorway.

SARAH SANDS: We tried to get it free but it left only the smallest tracemor. It didn't seem that it was doing well. Because it was prickly, I told my grandson not to touch it. We'll all remember Horace the hedgehog. Kim, my husband, is the son of a Yorkshire vet and is notably uncaring about animals. When confronted with the hedgehog, something melted inside him. What was it? This creature from somewhere else is in danger, and it could be something of Tolkien. Something sturdy and tasty, but in peril. Our little hedgehog made no noise at all. While I brought out some milk and bread, Kim lifted it in cupped hands and placed it in a cardboard box. In that sentence, there are three common mistakes, but we have a lot to learn.

Don't be fooled by the £ 1 million Banksy-style art or the windows without bars; this isn't a swanky hotel. This is the home to some of Norway's toughest criminals. People were stunned to learn how murderers, rapists, and other criminals were treated in Halden Prison, Norway, on TikTok. Viewers flocked to TikToker @sherifelsahly's video, with one user saying: "It's nicer than my rented." This is my latest retirement wish list. Another chimed in: "This is not a jail, it's a holiday home." Inmates in the £15 million prison system who were deemed the world's most humane jail are given more en-suite toilets. Fully equipped kitchens, as well as flat-screen TVs, mini-fridges, and even a key to their own cell can be included.

ANDREW PIERCE: Not only did Starmer fail to raise any concerns when Ulez was first introduced in Central London, but he was notably silent when it was announced that it would be extended. Despite the fact that this change will impact people driving into Greater London as well as residents, Starmer's Shadow Cabinet has never had a formal discussion about it. This is for one simple reason: Despite Starmer's sophistry, the Shadow Cabinet table is largely in favour of Ulez.

On Wednesday, Lisa Snowdon found herself in a tense discussion with Ann Widdecombe over the menopause. The two ladies appeared on Channel 5's Jeremy Vine show, where the conversation soon turned to the importance of starting more conversations about the menopause, which Lisa also discusses in her book Just Getting Started. The host, 51, who suffered with early menopause, said the menopause was'swept under the carpet for a long time' and that women had to suffer in silence,' which was unacceptable.

We've compiled a sampler containing everything from ham and cheese, to more sophisticated ones like a chicken club and salmon and cream cheese to see how they stack. The classic cheese and pickle sandwich is perhaps the cheapest sandwich to make, although not surprising. Despite the fact that it contains just two ingredients, cheddar cheese, and Branston's Original Pickle Chutney, the cost of making one at home hasn't escalated much since last year.

People who can't afford to make a cheese sandwich should not 'do the cheese sandwich,' Ann Widdecombe said. In a discussion about rising food costs, Ms Widdecombe, who was a Brexit Party MEP and now supports the Reform Party, made the remarks on the BBC's Politics Live programme. Any 'inefficiency' is likely to result in customers paying higher grocery and fuel prices than they should. However, Ms Widdecombe smears wage demands being made by public sector employees, but she also said that historically supermarkets had the "top hand" over producers.

A theatre has triggered a warning about the play that inspired musical romance My Fair Lady (right, Audrey Hepburn in the 1964 film) and in which a professor gave a Cockney flower seller diction lessons. Prof Henry Higgins' hit play Pygmalion sees Cockney flower seller Eliza Doolittle turned into a society lady, according to George Bernard Shaw's hit play Pygmalion. And theatre enthusiasts who want to see the play at the Old Vic (left) in London will be warned of 'portrayals of violence, threatening words, and coerce control'. Ann Widdecombe said the alarm was'so daft it beggars belief.' One wonders what the point of it all is,' the former MP told The Sun. As Eliza Doolittle might say, 'Coercive control, duck?Not Pygmalion likely!'

ANDREW PIERCE: Sir David Amess' murder, one of the first people his family turned to for help was Ann Widdecombe, a redoubtable. Amess, who was killed in his constituency surgery by terrorist Ali Harbi Ali in 2021, had been among Widdecombe's besties ever since she became a Conservative MP in 1987. Parts of their bond resulted from the fact that they were both devout Roman Catholics, and Widdecombe is the godmother to one of Amess' four children, according to the mother. Widdecombe delivered an moving eulogy at Amess' Westminster Cathedral memorial service.

According to reports, the Strictly Come Dancing stars were kept up all night at a hotel on the last leg of their UK tour by a group of car racers in Glasgow. According to The Sun, the dancers were staying in Scotland on Saturday night in the Kimpton Blythswood Square Hotel. Nikita Kuzmin, a professional dancer on the tour, took to Instagram the morning to complain about only getting 20 minutes sleep.

Ann Widdecombe, a 75-year-old Tory MP, was pulled into the fray last night after the new trailer for Meghan and Harry's Netflix documentary suggested that Palace aides' false news about the couple were published in the media as a 'distraction' tactic. As the second half of their six-part docuseries is finally announced, the looming threat against The Firm by the Sussexes, which is expected to be unreal in nature, will be laid out in full from 8 a.m. today. In yesterday's teaser clip, Duchess of Sussex, 41, and her allies said there was a 'war against Meghan', in which people were encouraged to tell unfavourable news about her and the Duke, 38, in an attempt to make derogatory reports of other royals 'go away.' Ms Widdecombe branded the Duchess "trouble" during her stint on Big Brother in 2018. However, the ex-politician said last night that if Meghan is 'briefed' to make the remark, she would be 'paranoid.' "If she doesn't believe that, she is inadvertently spreading conspiracy theories that have no truth," she told the Sun. I did make it on Big Brother, but it wasn't about race.' It comes as royal experts quickly dismissed the allegations made in the trailer yesterday as "nonsense," according to one commentator, who said the whole sequence was clearly a "sort of revenge." In a single clip, the Duchess herself said she had been made a scapegoat and that "You will see it play out." A tale about someone in the family will pop up for a minute, and then they'd say, 'We've got to make that go away.' Last night, Royal Editor Rebecca English said that only someone who is completely unaware of the media would suggest that she avoid a story about a royal family member in exchange for a conflictuous tale about Meghan or Harry.

In a remarkable victory for The Mail and letter writers around the UK, a ban on old "barcoded" stamps has been postponed until next year. As a result of the Royal Mail's decline, forms and freepost envelopes are now available at post offices, making the process of switching old stamps for new ones much simpler. Royal Mail is releasing barcoded stamps, which it claims can help combat fraud and make it easier to track down post. However, an abrupt halt to use old stamps on January 31 ignited suspicions that Britons, particularly the UK's 12 million pensioners, who post a lot more than younger people, will be left with tens of millions of unused and useless stamps.

EPHRAIM HARDCASTLE: John Major will not be able to thank Channel 5 for alerting viewers of his four-year affair with Edwina Currie. Prime Minister David Cameron is accused of hypocrisy over his 1993 'back to basics' address five years after his infidelity, according to a forthcoming documentary titled Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes. However, ex-MP Ann Widdecombe, who describes her 2002 naming of the affair as 'yuk, yuk,' accusing her of betrayal, has reserved a seat for Currie.

For two decades Judith Keppel, a distant cousin of the Queen Consort, has been the nation's Queen of Quizzes, first as the inaugural winner of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? Then as one of the original Eggheads, and then as one of the original Eggheads. Judith answers 60 of her most favorite fiendishly-hard Eggheads questions here. Can you crack them?

Ann Widdecombe, a former British politician, had her own bathroom on Celebrity Big Brother UK, according to the Courtney Act. The celebrity drag queen made the astonishing revelation on her Brenda, Call Me! Widdecombe refused to use the communal showers during her time on the show, according to a podcast. Courtney, 40, was the series's champion in the 2018 edition, barely beating Widdecombe in a nail-biting final.
