The man accused of killing Ann Widdecombe allegedly compiled an online dossier listing around 100 MPs, including Kemi Badenoch, as part of his alleged research activities spanning nearly two years. The list was uncovered during investigations into Joshua Kerry's alleged terrorist plot to break into Nigel Farage’s home. No charges have been filed related to the compilation of this list, but several MPs criticized the police and Home Secretary for not informing them about their inclusion on the list until recently.

Story summary
In July 2026, Joshua Kerry, a man accused of killing Ann Widdecombe and attempting to break into Nigel Farage's home in an alleged terrorist plot, compiled a list of around 100 MPs. The list included prominent figures like Kemi Badenoch, the Reform UK leader, and several other politicians from both Tory and Reform UK parties such as Tom Tugendhat, Robert Jenrick, Lee Anderson, Richard Tice, and Rosie Duffield. According to Westminster Magistrates' Court, Kerry allegedly spent nearly two years researching these individuals and institutions starting in May 2024. However, no charges have been brought related to the research list, and none of the politicians listed are considered victims or witnesses as there is no evidence indicating planned attacks against them.

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.
