Police outside the property in Rotherham, South Yorkshire, where the murder suspect was arrested |
Richard Holmes Forensic Investigations Editor |
On the morning of Ann Widdecombe’s death, the man suspected of murdering her is believed to have packed a wooden pole into his car and driven nearly 300 miles to her home in Haytor, Devon.
Devon and Cornwall Police have arrested a 28-year-old from Rotherham and indicated that they are not looking for anyone else. They stressed that there was no suggestion that the alleged murder was politically motivated.
For those living near the suspect, however, the developments have done little to ease the shock. They say the suspect put “some kind of wooden pole” into a car before driving off on the morning of Widdecombe’s death, and CCTV footage adds weight to their claims.
Tributes left for Ann Widdecombe |
On the morning she was killed, while she spoke to the media, the suspect was already making the lengthy journey towards her home.

Jude Bellingham has shown that he is not the problem for England, he is the solution |
 |
Jason Burt Chief Football Correspondent |
Ever since Thomas Tuchel’s remark that his mother found some of Jude Bellingham’s on-field behaviour repulsive, there has been an understandable fascination about their relationship.
Especially when Tuchel did not automatically pick Bellingham and suggested he had work to do to get back into the England team.
There were undoubtedly issues and the pair do not have to be friends, although they get on far better than has been suggested, and not least after a meeting in Madrid in May, revealed by Telegraph Sport. It did not exactly clear-the-air, but it helped.
Now, Bellingham has rejected Tuchel’s criticisms following the hard-fought World Cup quarter-final win over Norway. Anyone who knows anything about him, or Tuchel, will not be surprised. That creative tension, that edge, might just make the difference for England.

Only Andy Flower can give England’s Test cricket the credibility that was lacking during the past couple of years of Brendon McCullum’s reign.
Close at the start, the bond between Brendon McCullum and Ben Stokes loosened as time went on |
The team needs a head coach who knows how to win and bring through young players. Flower took England to No 1 in the world and won Ashes series home and away. Since then he has become one of the world’s most successful franchise coaches. He ticks every box. Time for a serious figure to take on Australia next year.

At Wimbledon, Jannik Sinner, the defending champion, overcame Alexander Zverev in a men’s final that achieved a high level of technical excellence but lacked narrative intrigue.
Sinner kisses his trophy after winning back-to-back Wimbledon titles |
The problem – for the first two sets at least – lay in the dominance of the two service games, which felt like a throwback to the era of Pete Sampras and Goran Ivanisevic. Eventually, after almost three hours of aces and missed returns, Sinner cracked the code by achieving the first break of serve in the 34th game. That was the spur for his eventual 6-7, 7-6, 6-3, 6-4 comeback victory in three exhausting hours and 46 minutes.

Britain’s GP crisis is often framed as a shortage of doctors, but the reality is far more complicated, writes Szu Ping Chan, our Economics Editor. Crushed by relentless workloads, many doctors are cutting their hours or leaving the NHS altogether, while others are tempted abroad by better pay and a healthier work-life balance. While patients struggle to get an appointment, Britain’s family doctors are walking away. For subscribers only ➤ |

At 76, violinist André Rieu is showing no signs of slowing down and is planning a run of arenas in Britain next year |
The Dutch violinist and conductor packs out stadiums, has sold more than 40 million records and even had the honour of a TV channel being named after him. Yet, this maestro with a penchant for fairy tale castles and cascading fireworks is consistently trampled on by the world’s classical music community. Here, he tells Guy Kelly about his miserable childhood, the fans who fall for his AI alias and how he responds to those pesky critics. Continue reading ➤ |

Remembering Patricia GreeneWhile Orlando Bird, our loyal reader correspondent, is away, Kate Moore is on hand to share an off-piste topic that has brought out the best of your opinions and stories. Kate writes...
Over the last few days we have received plenty of tributes to Patricia Greene, who notched up an astonishing 68 years on The Archers. There is something about the intimacy of radio that led many readers to think of Jill Archer as one might an old friend. Thanks to the character’s longevity, her fans were spread across the generations.
“My mum was a lifelong listener of The Archers and always identified with Jill, family lynchpin and baker extraordinaire,” said Ali North. “I hope they’re together now, enjoying a slice of strawberry shortcake and pouring a cup of coffee, while indulging in delicious gossip about Ambridge folk.”
Another reader concurred: “In 1951, my Grannie T asked me to sit with her and listen to the wireless. My first taste of The Archers. Thanks to British Forces Broadcasting Service I was able to listen to the programme all over the world: from Belize (British Honduras) in the west to Hong Kong in the east. When I was posted to London, I used to leave my local pub in time to listen – I was always ‘played out’ by the regulars humming The Archers theme tune.”
It certainly seems that her voice travelled far and wide. “The Archers, like most organisations blessed with such a linchpin, evolved around her constant, stable, presence,” wrote Andrew Banks. “A lovely BBC producer even sent me cassette tapes of episodes whilst I was deployed to the far north of Norway.”
I leave it to Anne Thrope to sum up: “Thank you Patricia for bringing Jill to life. Sometimes a little terse but generally good-hearted, loving, and supportive of all her family.” That’s all for today. In the meantime, you can contact the Letters Editor here.
