@KemiBadenoch Why did you stoop so low during PM questions. I am so sick of the horrible backlash with reform especially after the last week with the murder of Ann Widdecoombe. Have a bit of decency and decorum !!

[Andrew Neil @afneil]

Aren’t you the minister for safeguarding women against violence?
And you have to apologise for what you tweeted after a fellow female politician was violently murdered?
Isn’t that a resigning matter?

[Caroline @cazbuz1964]

@andyburnham You are not my Prime Minister. Unelected and no mandate

@NatalieFleetMP A 78 year old 5ft 1 inch defenceless lady was murdered. Shameful you are !! If you’re the minister for safeguarding & violence you are in the wrong position.

🚨 BREAKING: THE £38 BILLION LABOUR TAX RAID HAS JUST LEAKED.

Good morning to the millions of everyday, hardworking Brits waking up this Monday morning to an absolute financial slaughter.

Andy Burnham is preparing to launch a massive, unprecedented £38 billion tax raid the second he takes the keys to Number 10 this Friday. 🤡

This brings Labour's total tax grab to a staggering £104 billion every single year when combined with Rachel Reeves's previous business raids.

Reform UK has just exposed his planned torrent of new taxes that were completely hidden from the manifesto.

He is preparing to slap a 10% death tax on family homes, align capital gains tax with income tax, and hit landlords with National Insurance to drive up your rents.

He is even lowering the mansion tax threshold to just £1.5 million to drag ordinary middle-class homeowners into higher rates.

They are treating the British public like a bottomless ATM to fund their out-of-control, socialist spending spree.

If Burnham has the audacity to impose £38 billion of brand-new, undemocratic taxes on your family, he has absolutely zero mandate to govern.

We do not want a backroom coronation. We want a vote.

RT if you demand an immediate General Election to stop this robbery and take our country back! 🔁🇬🇧🔥

Dear Adam,

I have taken time to think about your apology. Mostly because, having made a mistake publicly before, I was keen to accept yours. It hurts when people don’t understand that you are sorry for messing up. I get that, probably more than most.

But here’s the thing… I’m not sure you understand what you did wrong. And so you don’t really understand what you are apologising for or why. With that in mind, I want to help you.

I didn’t know Ann, except as a powerhouse in politics and that so many people have spoken of her friendship and great loyalty. How lovely, I wish I had known her.

I am utterly disinterested in her sexual prowess or the state of her virginity. But I would have enjoyed hearing you speak of her great accomplishments. Not as a woman, but simply as a human being.

Here’s a list.

She served in the House of Commons for 23 years and won five general elections.

She served as a government minister in Social Security, Employment and the Home Office, where she was Minister of State for Prisons.

She rose to become Shadow Health Secretary and then Shadow Home Secretary.

She was appointed to the Privy Council.

After leaving Westminster, she built an entirely new career as an author, broadcaster, documentary-maker, stage performer and television personality.

Then, at the age of 71, she returned to elected politics and became a Member of the European Parliament.

She was a longstanding advocate for Britain leaving the European Union and, when the political establishment failed to deliver the referendum result, she left the Conservative Party after more than 50 years and stood for the Brexit Party.

She was elected as an MEP and took the argument for British independence directly into the European Parliament.

She was also an unapologetic defender of free speech. She continued to speak openly on difficult and unfashionable subjects when others chose silence, it was easier to do that, she accepted the criticism and hostility that came with it rather than surrendering her convictions.

Her Catholic faith was central to her life. She converted to Catholicism, met Pope John Paul II in Rome and was later made a Dame of the Order of St Gregory the Great by Pope Benedict XVI for her service to politics and public life.

She remained a powerful public voice well into her late seventies, defending her beliefs despite decades of ridicule and hostility.

That is an extraordinary life of public service, courage and reinvention.

Yet, when asked to speak about her after her sudden and violent death, you chose to tell the country that she was a “spinster”, an “old maid” and a virgin. You discussed a failed relationship and suggested that afterwards she simply dedicated herself to other activities.

Do you understand the reduction involved in that?

You took the life of a highly accomplished woman and assessed it according to whether she had married, whether she had sex and whether a man had wanted her.

That is what was wrong. That is what you should have known.

It wasn’t simply that your words were poorly chosen or badly timed. It was the instinct to view a woman’s entire life through her relationship with men, even when her achievements should have rendered that completely irrelevant.

Nobody discussing the death of an accomplished male politician would think it necessary to tell viewers whether he was a virgin, speculate about his sex life or describe him as an ageing bachelor whose romance had failed.

I don’t want you cancelled. I don’t believe that people should be denied forgiveness when they make mistakes.

But a meaningful apology has to identify the actual wrong.

Ann was murdered after a lifetime of public service. At the moment her achievements should have been remembered, you diminished her to an unmarried woman who apparently hadn’t had sex.

She deserved better than that. And I’m still not sure you get it. But every woman who watched you speak of her and then read your apology does.

Bernie.

[Caroline @cazbuz1964]

@Iromg Unbearable to think about her last moments. Oh how I loved listening to Ann. She was so entertainingly intelligent and a fantastic orator. I’m so sorry @Iromg she didn’t deserve it. I’m beginning to hate this country and where it’s not going but gone !!

[Caroline @cazbuz1964]

@PeterTatchell Too late !! Your hateful comment will be online forever.

[Caroline @cazbuz1964]

@GuidoFawkes I’ve lost ALL faith in British justice. Our country is so far down to hell that we are at the tipping point of no return. This news is just unbearable. RIP Ann

[Jacob Rees-Mogg @Jacob_Rees_Mogg]

Of your mercy please pray for the soul of Ann Widdecombe.

[Caroline @cazbuz1964]

@PeterTatchell You’re disgusting. That’s all you can say. 78 year old 5ft 1 lady who can’t defend herself !! F…U

[Caroline @cazbuz1964]

@polytixs @darrengrimes You’re disgusting. That’s all you can say. 78 year old 5ft 1 lady who can’t defend herself !! F…

[Reform UK @reformparty_uk]

Whilst the media attacks us from Westminster, we are winning elections all over the country. 💪

[Caroline @cazbuz1964]

@RealPatriotsRVQ @Margare44959604 Of course. The contempt shown to the voters is disgusting !! The establishment need getting rid of.

[Alex Phillips @ThatAlexWoman]

How about you tell us about that time you were Post Office Minister during the Horizon Scandal then coined £275,000 helping the law firm representing the Post Office?

People f*cking committed suicide over it, you utter scumbag

Which is why you avoid the press by goofing around on jet skis like a giant pr1ck
