0808 5 92 95 00. Text 80295 ANN WIDDECOMBE Ann Wilddecombe, the former MP, was found dead on Thursday at her home having sustained serious injuries. Police investigating the alleged murder of Ann Widdecombe have said there is "nothing to suggest it was politically motivated" as they continue to question a white British man who was arrested at the weekend. Asked whether Miss Widdecombe’s murder is believed to have been politically motivated, Sir Keir Starmer said the security of politicians “is of the utmost importance” but he would not speculate on any potential motive. Nigel Farage has said that "for anybody in public life, or especially the political space, things have become even more dangerous." Has public life become too dangerous? ALZHEIMERS Veteran DJ Paul Gambaccini has revealed he has Alzheimer's disease but says, for now, life is to 'go on as normal' for him. Are we getting better at living well with Alzheimer's? What do you wish you'd known when Alzheimer's first entered your family?" BULLYING A group of parents are calling for a new law on how Scottish schools should tackle bullying. They believe the current guidance – which is not legally binding - allows for inconsistencies and means too many victims are left feeling unsafe. Their petition has been accepted by the Holyrood Petitions Committee, so MSPs could now take action on it when they return from the summer. Are we too soft on bullying? DOG BOARDERS The Scottish SPCA is calling for a national register of animal offenders after unlicensed dog boarders who crammed animals into stacked cages were given what the charity described as a “lenient” sentence. Who do you trust with your pet? Have you had a good—or bad—experience with a dog boarder or pet sitter?
