Joshua Kerry, 28, appeared in Westminster Magistrates’ Court charged with preparing terrorist acts against Nigel Farage and murdering Ann Widdecombe. The alleged terrorist plot involved researching Farage’s home address and traveling there on April 20 last year, where a bottle of lighter fluid was found by Farage’s partner upon returning home. Kerry is also accused of killing Widdecombe by hitting her over the head with a hammer 21 times at her Devon home on July 8, 2026. He will next appear at the Old Bailey.

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.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political
question, so it has no leaning score. That is an
answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly
or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it
anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political
position.
