It’d be safer than him driving.

They’re violent thugs in both instances with no justification so I don’t see why not. The Henry Nowak ‘protestors’ all had criminal records for violence as long Inspector Gadget’s arms and deserved anything they got for smashing up the city of my birth. Scum. If last night bottles and objects were thrown at the police because they lost a football match then throw the book at them too and quickly. Copper don’t tend to like people who assault coppers from any background.

I was one of them a few years ago. But to get up there from where the suspect’s from and been arrested, from Bovey Tracey and Parke the NT property, once you go past Parke and fork left towards Haytor, that road has high hedges, is narrow to begin with and nowhere to walk. A very fit person could cycle it and he’s only 26 they guy they’ve arrested, but it would be hard going and you couldn’t carry anything. The house is not too far from the car park at Haytor or they’ve parked on a country road near the property and you could be secluded doing so. We’ve walked all around there having lived in that area for more than a decade. Such a beautiful place for such a horrible act.

Police will be all over his social media and devices. Around there it is an especially elderly and affluent population in places so I wouldn’t rule out an economic motive either. Not that it would ever justify it - horrendous. Or could be an MH case with the level of seeming violence.

26 years old bloke living in Newton Abbot, the nearest town or significant conurbation. Not thought to be political or terror motive. You’re around 1500ft above sea level so he probably had a car/motorbike to get up there. Not clear whether he knew her or not yet.

Forensic evidence will be crucial as whilst the police are hoping for Ring/doorbell footage, there isn’t much in the way of housing up there and bar the road winding its way through from Newton Abbott to Widecombe on the Moor (stunning scenery) other than the National Parks shop and car park, it’s pretty remote when you get out into the moorland and former quarry up there.

Her passing is sad enough but I do hope this isn’t true and there’s no foul play https://www.facebook.com/TELEGRAPH.CO.UK/posts/-ann-widdecombe-was-found-dead-at-her-home-in-dartmoor-at-the-age-of-78-and-ther/1478274757680485/ Irrespective of political differences, she was very kind and helpful with fundraising work for hospice care when I lived in Devon.

Walsall councillor arrested within a fortnight of starting for alleged stalking. Reform’s famed due diligence working wonders again https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/black-country/walsall-reform-uk-councillor-arrested-34258840

FGR are regarded as a bit of circus locally (I’m probably influenced by the Cheltenham fans I know) but I’d much rather vote with a Dale Vince-backed candidate than an Aaron Banks-supported one. Clear where Vince’s money comes from, less so Banks https://www.opendemocracy.net/en/we-need-to-talk-about-arron/ There are some sources of funding more likely than others though https://www.facebook.com/Channel4News/posts/millionaire-brexit-backer-arron-banks-eagerly-pursued-a-multibillion-pound-gold-/10156573947426939/

Police now investigating donations to Reform by the money launderer’s mother used for social media activities (to flood Facebook and X with racist adverts and misinformation) and security (er, what was the £5m for again?) https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c3eyq2np7qgo Once he loses his seat after the second by-election, the Chair role of Portsmouth FC awaits.

Torino can’t afford the wages, not even Champ-reduced ones. As for Fulham and Palace being in the Charles, good. They’ve both got the funds to go where Leeds couldn’t.

Firstly, I don’t vote Labour. Secondly, whilst Starmer would have been well-advised to leave alone freebie tickets and nice suits/ties/sunglasses along having promised to be different (he didn’t come into power with great popularity anyway and that dragged it down further straight away) we are taking about what £20k tops? Still don’t like it but it’s not even in the same league structure or sphere of sleaze and corruption as Farage. There’s a chasm of difference to that and receiving a £5m bung from a crypto billionaire for purposes unclear judging by the pou pourri of answers at interviews over the last month, when there’s clearly been a subsequent attempt to lobby the BoE on cryptocurrency without any real assessment of the economic risks (fortunately Andrew Bailey has his head screwed on). As for the Green MP, she’s a plumber just like Reform’s candidate in Makersfield with her own business, just minus the racism and homophobia. Statistically she’s absolutely correct with facts you can’t argue with without looking like a fruitcake - Farage’s attendance record in Parliament and in his constituency is fucking woeful. Just two of an iceberg of data - his voting participation rate is a pathetic 33.5%, 69 out of 206 votes over the last two years. That puts him in the bottom 8% of all MPs. Farage has spoken just 45 times in Parliament. Compare this to 92 for Badenoch, 111 for Davey and 152 for the Greens. It gets worse, he’s mentioned Clacton TWICE in the last year https://www.desmog.com/2026/07/07/nigel-farage-has-mentioned-clacton-only-twice-in-commons-during-past-year/ He’s not engaged at all on the Clacton Regeneration Board. This would normally have the local MP on it even if they’re a leader, or a delegate. But nothing. I sat on the board where we lived before on top of a full-time job managing 25 staff and generating millions of pounds of income and wasn’t paid a penny. He’s spent more time in America than Clacton kissing Vance’s arse because Trump can’t be bothered with him. PS - any responses on your hero’s Dunblane comments?

Vile.

Chances of a new club in the top two divisions is receding, to tell the bald truth. He’s been on the wrong end some hairline offside decisions though. A few cuddles from Russ at Leicester will help him though as long as Danny doesn’t get hair envy,
