O<\/span>ne of Britian\u2019s last \u201cprinciple politicians\u201d has died. Member of Parliament (M.P.) Ann Widdecombe, a convert to Catholicism and a staunch defender of Christian moral principles in the public square, was found murdered in her home on Thursday. Although local Assistant Chief Constable Matt Longman said that Widdecombe\u2019s murder was not politically motivated or a terrorist attack, the Catholic politician\u2019s death comes amidst widespread political and social upheaval in Britain, including violence against conservative voices.<\/p>\n

Widdecombe\u2019s political career began in the 1980s, when she ran for office and co-founded Women and Families for Defence, an organization advocating nuclear deterrence in opposition to the more progressive nuclear disarmament campaign of the Greenham Common Women\u2019s Peace Camp. At the time an Anglican, after having abandoned agnosticism in her 20s and 30s, Widdecombe was elected to Parliament in 1987.<\/p>\n

Nearly five years ago, one of Widdecombe\u2019s colleagues and fellow Catholics, Conservative M.P. Sir David Amess, was murdered by an Islamist.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n

Throughout the 1990s, Widdecombe served in a host of various cabinet positions under Conservative leader and Prime Minister Sir John Major, rising to prominence as Minister of State for Prisons. Although she herself never became leader of the Conservatives, she played a pivotal role in guiding the party, including effectively torpedoing the leadership campaigns of Michael Howard and Michael Portillo. In 2010, Widdecombe retired from the British Parliament, but was elected as a member of the European Parliament (MEP) in 2019, running on the Brexit Party ticket. Her affiliation with the Brexit Party resulted in her being expelled from the Conservative Party. She later joined the Brexit Party\u2019s successor, Reform U.K., as the party\u2019s immigration and justice spokeswoman.<\/p>\n

Following the Church of England\u2019s decision to ordain women as priests, Widdecombe converted to Catholicism. \u201cI left the Church of England because there was a huge bundle of straw. The ordination of women was the last straw, but it was only one of many,\u201d she explained in an interview at the time. \u201cFor years I had been disillusioned by the Church of England\u2019s compromising on everything. The Catholic Church doesn\u2019t care if something is unpopular.\u201d<\/p>\n

Widdecombe distinguished herself throughout her career as a staunch defender of the dignity of human life, adamantly opposing both abortion and euthanasia. Despite her tenure as shadow health secretary, Widdecombe turned down the position of Health Secretary when the Conservatives regained power, citing her pro-life beliefs and explaining that she could not be responsible for licensing abortionists. The parliamentarian was also an opponent of the LGBT agenda, voting again and again to protect the institution of marriage and publicly declaring, \u201cI do not think that [homosexuality] can be promoted as an equally valid lifestyle to [heterosexual] marriage, but I would say the same about irregular heterosexual arrangements.\u201d She also opposed then-Prime Minister David Cameron\u2019s push to legalize same-sex marriage, insisting that the state\u2019s model of marriage must be \u201ca union that is generally open to procreation.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sadly, police found Widdecombe dead in her home in Haytor Vale, Dartmoor, Devon. She had, police reported, sustained \u201cserious injuries\u201d and a murder investigation was launched. One suspect, identified as a 26-year-old white male, was arrested under suspicion, but was released early Saturday morning and was said to be \u201cno longer part of the investigation.\u201d The investigation is still ongoing.<\/p>\n

Nearly five years ago, one of Widdecombe\u2019s colleagues and fellow Catholics, Conservative M.P. Sir David Amess, was murdered by an Islamist. Somali man Ali Harbi Ali was arrested and convicted, citing Amess\u2019s support for wars against Islamic regimes as motivation for murdering the mild-mannered Catholic.<\/p>\n

Since Amess\u2019s murder in 2021, Britain\u2019s immigration crisis has only worsened, as Widdecombe clearly recognized by joining Reform as an immigration policy spokeswoman. The nation \u2014 once home to great saints like Thomas Beckett, Thomas More, and Edmund Campion \u2014 has imported hordes of third world refuse from violent regions where anti-Christian sentiment is not only harbored but encouraged. The Rape Gang Inquiry Report recently published by M.P. Rupert Lowe of the Restore Britain Party explicates that Muslim men intentionally target white Christian girls for widespread, systematic rape, gang rape, sex trafficking, torture, and even murder.<\/p>\n

In ages past, British Catholics were targeted for persecution by those who oppose the Catholic Church. As godlessness and its ladies-in-waiting \u2014 progressivism, feminism, and immigration accelerationism \u2014 have increased in power, so also the persecution of Catholics in Britain has increased in scale, intensity, and barbarism. Offer a prayer for the soul of Ann Widdecombe, who no doubt will be welcomed to Heaven by her countrymen and fellow Catholics who have gone before her.<\/p>\n
