The Guardian reports that former British politician Ann Widdecombe may have been dead at her home for roughly twenty-four hours before her body was discovered. Devon police say they are working on the assumption that the seventy-eight-year-old was attacked at about half past twelve on Wednesday afternoon. Widdecombe, a onetime Conservative government minister who later became a prominent figure in Brexit and Reform politics, was a well-known name in British public life.
