British counter-terror police investigating the death of former MP Ann Widdecombe have reopened a year-old probe into an alleged firebomb attack at Nigel Farage’s home in south London, according to reports.

Officers said the incident, which the Telegraph described as a “lit incendiary device” being posted through the Reform UK leader’s letterbox, happened at an address in Greater London and was reported in April 2025.
