‘She took us under her wing’ | Martin Daubney emotionally reacts to the death of Ann Widdecombe

Martin Daubney has led tributes to former MP, MEP and minister Ann Widdecombe as Sir Keir Starmer praised the life of the "distinguished" politician.

After her death was announced this morning, the Reform UK leader Nigel Farage said: "When Ann Widdecombe decided to stand for The Brexit Party in the snap 2019 European Elections, it was a big moment and huge boost."

"The voters loved her. She played a decisive role in getting Brexit over the line and will be missed by us all."

The pair served as Members of the European Parliament together, with Ms Widdecombe becoming Mr Farage's party spokeswoman for justice and immigration.

Before, she left her mark on Reform UK's precursor, the Brexit Party, where both politicians campaigned ferociously for the UK to leave the European Union.
