Story summary
Joshua Kerry, 28, from Rotherham, South Yorkshire, has been charged with one count of preparation of terrorist acts under the Terrorism Act 2006. The charge relates to activities allegedly planned between May 31, 2024, and July 8, 2026, including actions against Nigel Farage, the MP for Clacton and leader of Reform UK. This comes after Kerry was accused of murdering Ann Widdecombe, a former Conservative minister and Reform UK spokeswoman, who died on July 9, 2026, following an attack at her home in Haytor, Dartmoor, Devon, where she was hit over the head with a hammer more than 21 times. The charge is the result of extensive work by Counter Terrorism Policing teams across the UK. Kerry is due to appear at Westminster Magistrates' Court on Wednesday.
