Political commentator Alex Phillips shared a bombshell theory about the death of former MP Ann Widdecombe during an appearance on the Megyn Kelly show on Sirius XM. During her chat with the American host, she compared Widdecombe‘s killer to “Islamist terrorists” as she insisted it was a “terrorist incident”. Host Kelly showed CCTV footage of the alleged killer with a bat clearly sticking out of his pocket, which it is believed he used to bludgeon the 78-year-old politician and reality star to death.
“It’s really hard for me to think about that,” Phillips said. ” I knew Ann personally, and it’s harrowing to think of her being bludgeoned to death with a baseball bat in her own kitchen, and if he had come to her front door and said ‘you’re a fascist’, she’d have probably said, ‘Oh, do come in, have a cup of tea, don’t be so silly’,” she reflected.
Clearly angry she continued: “A little old woman killed with a baseball bat in her kitchen. He drove 300 miles with that thing. It was premeditated.”
“…They’re going to paint the picture, aren’t they? ‘Oh well, he’s got mental health issues. Well, you have to have mental health issues to drive 300 miles to club someone to death.
“It doesn’t make it any less a terrorist incident or a political assassination. It doesn’t. We’ve got to move past this excuse of mental health and actually point the finger of blame at why people have terrible mental health.
“The pictures they’re being painted by the state, by the left-wing, by this so-called DEI (Diversity, Equality and Inclusion) and critical race theory training, and all the rest of it, which psychological reports have likened to brainwashing for authoritarianism.

“That is what it’s doing, and it’s not that different from Islamist terrorists, where you’ve got radical preachers and radical clerics telling everybody that infidels are the problem in this world and they need to be gotten rid of at any cost.
“And someone hearing that material online and believing that it means that they have to go out and attack somebody. The parallels are undeniable,” she insisted.
Officers are probing whether the 78-year-old was bludgeoned to death in a premeditated attack linked to her political views.
They fear a self-radicalised loner regarded Ms Widdecombe as an “easy target” compared with more prominent figures such as Nigel Farage. The Reform UK leader, as a sitting MP, has a dedicated police contact, in accordance with Operation Bridger, the national police protective security
