Rt Hon Ann Widdecombe MP
Sue Lawley's castaway is Shadow 成人快手 Secretary Ann Widdecombe.
Sue Lawley's guest this week is the Shadow 成人快手 Secretary Ann Widdecombe. Since the last election she has used her free time to write a novel, but has no plans to become a full time author since politics remains her passion. Some two years after she spiked Michael Howard's bid to become leader of the Conservative Party, she is herself being talked about as a possible Tory Leader.
