LONDON, Oct 3 — A 28-year-old man already charged with the murder of a UK politician, has been charged with preparing acts of terrorism, including against hard-right leader Nigel Farage, British police announced yesterday.
The murder had sparked strong reactions from politicians at the time, including MPs from Farage’s Reform who have called for improved security for lawmakers.
Police yesterday said Joshua Kerry had been charged with one count of preparing acts of terrorism for actions allegedly carried out between May 31, 2024 and July 8, 2026.
Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood, a Labour politician, offered her “deepest sympathy” to Farage and his family.
“Let no one make any mistake: an attack on anyone in politics is an attack on us all,” she wrote on X after the charges were announced.
