Man charged with terrorism over alleged plot against Nigel Farage
British police and prosecutors said Joshua Kerry, 28, already accused of murdering former minister Ann Widdecombe, has been charged with preparing acts of terrorism between May 2024 and July that related in part to Nigel Farage. Widdecombe, 78, was found dead at her home on July 9 after being attacked the day before, and prosecutors said she was struck 21 times with a hammer. Investigators described the probe as hugely intensive and complex, and Kerry is due to appear at Westminster Magistrates' Court, raising fresh questions about security for public figures and political life.
