It was truly awful to see that not a single bishop turned up for the remembrance of Ann Widdecombe in the House of Lords.

A woman of deep, unwavering Roman Catholic faith, Ann centred her entire life and political career on her Christian beliefs, from her principled stands on less advocacy for persecuted Christians. Her devotion to both Church and country was total and courageous.
Even if they disagreed with some of her views, the least the Lords Spiritual could have done was show basic respect for her lifelong dedication. Instead, their absence speaks volumes: too lost in woke values, lacking the courage to honour a woman of real conviction. A sad reflection on where parts of the establishment Church have drifted.

Rest in peace, Ann, you were a true servant of faith and principle. 🙏
