Widdecombe was discovered in her home in Devon, England, on July 9 by a gardener after an assistant became concerned when she did not make a media appearance, according to GB News. Police took 28-year-old Joshua Kerry into custody on suspicion of murder on July 11, tracing Widdecombe’s death to midday on July 8.

The alleged killer’s method was beating Widdecombe 21 times with a hammer. According to the U.K.’s Daily Mail, investigators found communist literature in Kerry’s home along with newspaper clippings about Reform U.K.’s leader Nigel Farage. This was the party Widdecombe had been serving as an immigration spokeswoman.

The Post Millennial’s Andy Ngo found a flyer from Palestine Action that he posted to social media platform X after the killing, in which the group was seemingly encouraging the use of hammers to harm conservatives.

The flyer reads, “Arms tired from waving flags? Workout with a hammer!”

“Direction Action training available!”

The group explains, “Direct action means targeting the source of the problem and intervening ourselves. It means rather than appeal to institutions, politicians or any others to create the necessary changes, we create the change using our own power.”

Palestine Action clarifies this is not civil disobedience. They are not seeking policy changes.

“Direct action, which we employ, bypasses our complicit governments and forces the necessary change ourselves.”
