Counter terrorism police are now leading the investigation into the death of former Conservative minister Ann Widdecombe, after “new information and evidence has come to light”, Counter Terrorism Policing South East (CTPSE) has said.
“The police are pursuing multiple lines of enquiry to establish the motivation for this attack. I will be updating the House further this afternoon,” Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood said.
A 28-year-old white British man from Rotherham, South Yorkshire, was originally arrested on suspicion of murder on Saturday but has now been re-arrested “on suspicion of commission, preparation or instigation of acts of terrorism”, CTPSE said.
Police said the “dynamic and complex investigation” had led to the new arrest.
On Thursday, 78-year-old Widdecombe was found dead at her home in Haytor, Devon, having sustained serious injuries.

Three members of his government, including Home Office minister Jess Phillips, have resigned, whilst scores of Labour MPs are calling for him to quit following a disastrous set of elections for the party last week.
Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood is among a number of cabinet ministers urging the prime minister to set out a departure timetable.
Sir Keir said he does not intend to quit and threw down the gauntlet to potential rivals to formally challenge him as Labour leader.
No MP has yet launched a formal bid to challenge him, which requires the backing of 81 colleagues or 20% of Labour MPs, according to party rules.

The US said it has hit “dozens” of Iranian military targets in overnight attacks, in response to Iran hitting commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.
The military said it struck “air-defense systems, coastal radar sites, missile and drone capabilities, and small boats”, using aircraft, ships, and drones – including “one-way attack sea drones for the first time”.
“The Strait of Hormuz is a vital maritime corridor for global trade,” the US military said. “Iran does not control it”.
In response, Iran said it targeted US bases in Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait and also radar systems in Oman.

President Donald Trump has said the US is reinstating a naval blockade of Iranian ports and will impose a 20% charge on all cargo shipped through the Strait of Hormuz following days of escalating strikes between the two countries.
He said this would stop “Iran’s ships or customers” from entering or leaving the key oil shipping route, but “all other countries will have fair and open use of the Strait”.
Iran’s foreign minister later said whoever provides safe passage “should be compensated for this service”, but Iran would remain the strait’s “GUARDIAN” – using Trump’s word.
Tehran and Washington clashed over the strait’s control after exchanging strikes in the region overnight and on Monday.
The US said it carried out strikes against military targets in Iran, targeting air defence systems, coastal radars, and missile and drone sites. Iran said it responded by striking US military bases in Kuwait, Jordan and Bahrain, and radars in Oman.

I’m not in Ireland and puzzled by this band. Are they not inciting hatred? If everyone is welcome in Ireland why do they want Brits out? What about DEI (Diversity, Equity and Inclusion)? Only with certain groups it seems. Does this not make them bigoted?

of course these sewer rats are bigots and trying to court controversy via their images as well as what they are saying, everything they say and do is aimed at Unionists or 'Brits' as they like to call us, Its one thing to promote your language and heritage but to include violent republican imagery over steps the line, If a group of young lads from the Shankill did the same as Kneecap albeit from a militant Loyalist perspective there would be outrage and certainly no funding from film sponsers, Years ago Hip Hop in Northern Ireland was inclusive, kids from all backgrounds mixed together, this shower of shite is divisive and should be called out as so.

Why are you promoting this group? I heard it on the radio in Friday, so why have you picked this particular rap group to promote? Is there an agenda being pushed here? It’s supposed to be a news channel funded by the public so again why are you promoting this group?

Aye about time, there's loads of great things going on in Ireland, I hope this is a change in attitudes with the media, & not just negative narratives about the UK & Europe all calling us far right anarchists. Well I can dream can't I? Good luck lads 🙂

Nothing new about the subject matter at all. Give My Head Peace is a satirical television comedy series on BBC Northern Ireland that pokes fun at political parties, paramilitary groups and the sectarian divide in Northern Ireland. We've been watching that Show even before the Belfast Agreement was signed. And is still in production and touring.
