Nigel Farage has sent an email to Reform UK supporters tonight saying “we don’t know whether there were any political motives” behind Ann Widdecombe’s murder. But police have already ruled that out, saying there was “no information” to suggest the murder was “politically motivated”.

6. Finally for now, let’s remember Ann’s much maligned quiz show, *checks notes* Cleverdicks. X

4. Her appearance in Doctor Who, which deserved a BAFTA nom.

3. Being in the Celebrity Big Brother House, losing against Courtney Act, and delivering this sensational video of her unable to straighten her own hair.

2. When she took part in 24 Hours In The Past, had an argument with HRH Zoe Lucker, and made HM Miquita Oliver have to suffer more than Jesus through painting plates.

1. Her appearance on the Sooty Show (???) which created a meme for the ages.

Ann Widdecombe had a long life in politics. But she also managed to contribute a particularly large number of memes to the queer British consciousness, because she ultimately loved attention, and thus refused to stay off TV. So Ann, THIS is your legacy.

Both totally unnecessary and extremely funny that the Guardian has an interactive graphic for you to change the color of the US flag's blue to the color of the Reflecting Pool from 8 to 19 June and counting
Screenshot of the article's graphic, showing color swatches derived from the Earthcam archive, illustration the color of the reflecting pool calibrated against satellite imagery, from 8 June to 19 June 2026. I chose yesterday, 19 June, so it rendered the US American flag with a green hue instead of blue.

I have just had to read the latest iteration of PinkNews's 'journalism', an AI slop mash-up of several unrelated stories which doesn't make any sense. Turns out that journalism needs reporters after all! Here's a thread on just how terrible the piece is 👇

The answer to this is that if we do not repeatedly reinforce the taboo against this stuff and explain why it is wrong it gets worse. “Just call it names” does not work. We’ve seen the failure of that over the past 18 months.

An image of Canadian actress Katherine O’Hara as the Schitt’s Creek character Moira Rose, providing the following advice: “Take a thousand naked pictures of yourself now. You may currently think, “Oh, I’m too spooky.” Or, “nobody wants to see these tiny boobies.” But, believe me, one day you will look at those photos with much kinder eyes.”

"I spoke to one 80-year-old woman who has been in our organisation for decades, who said it was one of the greatest experiences of her life, and the only place in her 80 years where she’s been treated as a woman with respect.” What does this do for women's rights?
