A Restore Britain councillor has deleted a social media post in which he suggested that Ann Widdecombe’s death was linked to “radical left thugs”.

…

Cllr Clatworthy wrote: “Ann Widdecombe has been murdered.

“A straight talking patriot, fearless defender of Britain, taken out in her own home.

“Serious injuries Devon and Cornwall Police confirming murder investigation.

“What kind of a country lets radical left thugs create this climate of fear?

“A broken one. A failing one. One run by weak politicians who’ve surrendered to the mob.

“I faced threats myself. One still live with South Wales Police.

“I’m not backing down. Ann Widdecombe stood against all that. Her murder is a warning.

“Justice for Ann.”

Around half an hour after publishing the post, Cllr Clatworthy deleted it.

Badenoch attacks Farage over £5m gift and rules out Tory-Reform pact

Conservative leader says Reform UK’s poor showing in this week’s byelections leaves idea of deal ‘stone-dead’

Kemi Badenoch has attacked Nigel Farage over the £5m gift he received before the general election as she ruled out an electoral pact with Reform UK.

The Tory leader questioned Farage’s acceptance of the gift from the Thailand-based crypto billionaire Christopher Harborne in the months before he stood to become an MP in 2024.

Farage blames Makerfield defeat on anti-Starmer votes

Nigel Farage says he is disappointed with Reform UK’s performance in the Makerfield by-election, as he blamed his party’s defeat on a desire among voters to eject Sir Keir Starmer from Downing Street.

The Reform leader claimed frustration with the embattled prime minister had driven Andy Burnham’s “emphatic” Labour victory over his party’s candidate, Rob Kenyon, who finished more than 9,000 votes behind.

Newspaper with the headline: Farage could face recall petition and byelection over £5m gift from crypto king

This one is from The Observer:

Farage could face byelection over crypto king’s £5m donation

The Reform leader faces two possible investigations over the undeclared gift from Christopher Harborne. A lengthy Commons suspension could lead to a recall petition – and end up costing him his Clacton seat

Nigel Farage’s victory celebrations could be over before his newly minted councillors have even taken up their positions, as pressure builds over his undeclared £5m donation from Christopher Harborne.

Last week, the Guardian revealed that Reform’s leader had received a seven-figure sum from the Thailand-based crypto billionaire just weeks before announcing he would stand in the 2024 general election – reversing a decision he had made shortly before.

RT: @AaronBastani While I was in Merthyr I had the most extraordinary conversation: while visiting south Wales Farage had allegedly come by helicopter – but then drove from the next valley, where the chopper was – to obscure how he travels.

Reform are welcome to correct!

More musical chairs as two North unitary councillors quit Reform UK to join Restore Britain

Two Reform UK councillors on North Northamptonshire Council have sensationally quit the party today to join a newly formed rival.

Cllr Jack Goncalvez (Rushden Lakes ward) and Darren Rance (Brickhill & Queensway ward) have been announced as new councillors by the Restore Britain party, which was launched on Friday evening by former Reform UK MP Rupert Lowe.

They follow a number of other councillors from Kent County Council in joining the new party, with Cllr Goncalvez accusing his former party of ‘courting the establishment it claims to oppose’.
