British Prime Minister Keir Starmer urged politicians to set aside partisan disagreements following the launch of a murder inquiry into the death of former Conservative minister Ann Widdecombe, whose body was discovered at her Devon residence. Police are searching for a white male suspect and have described the investigation as progressing rapidly. Widdecombe served as an MP for two decades and later as a Brexit Party MEP. Starmer stated he had contacted Nigel Farage, Andy Burnham, and Kemi Badenoch, and called on the public to assist authorities in apprehending the suspect.
