Nigel Farage has been accused of exploiting the death of former Conservative MP Ann Widdecombe after saying he did not believe her killing was 'a burglary that went wrong'.

The Reform UK leader made the remarks while paying tribute near Widdecombe's home in Haytor, Dartmoor, days after she was found dead. His comments have since drawn flak from political figures, a close friend of the late politician, and police, who have urged the public not to speculate while the murder investigation continues.
