Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, the man who trades under the alter-ego “Tommy Robinson” like some pound shop superhero, has issued an ill-tempered defence of his jet-set lifestyle in the face of a recent wave of criticism, not least of all from sections of the far right. And it is, we must say, intensely moving stuff. A profound […]

Tommy Robinson, rape campaigner – unless you’re white
Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, better known as Tommy Robinson, has built a career on weaponising sexual violence allegations against Muslim men. Grooming gang scandals have served as his primary recruiting tool, his fundraising engine, and the moral justification he offers for an ideology rooted in anti-Muslim hatred. So it is worth pausing to examine what he does […]
School faced wave of abuse after Tommy Robinson lies
A Glasgow school has been hit with a wave of abuse after Tommy Robinson circulated false claims online about an attack involving pupils. It was followed by a barrage of threatening calls that left staff “terrified and traumatised”. The incident began when footage of a boy being assaulted was shared on social media, accompanied by […]
Son’s jet set photos expose the Tommy Robinson poverty scam
Tommy Robinson’s insistence that he is a destitute family man living hand‑to‑mouth becomes rather harder to swallow when his son pops up bragging that he is living the lifestyle of a minor oligarch. Spencer Yaxley‑Lennon’s recent Instagram posts – featuring private jets, luxury interiors, designer wardrobes and the seedier sort of “entrepreneur” branding – has […]
Far-right merger collapses as Ben Habib slams ‘dictator’ Lowe
The uneasy courtship between Ben Habib’s Advance UK and Rupert Lowe’s newly-launched Restore Britain party has collapsed into open hostility, with Habib issuing an extraordinary nine‑minute denunciation of Lowe’s leadership, structure and political direction. The intervention confirms Searchlight’s earlier reporting on the factional tensions simmering beneath the right‑populist realignment, and suggest that the attempted consolidation […]
Tommy Robinson flees UK following ‘ISIS threat’
Far‑right activist Stephen Yaxley‑Lennon, known as Tommy Robinson, has announced on X that he has “left the country”, after a police warning of an ISIS threat against him. He is saying he needed time to “work things out” for the safety of himself and his family and suggested they may have to relocate. Robinson was […]
Tommy Robinson’s London ‘white’ lie
Stephen Yaxley-Lennon -the activist who performs as “Tommy Robinson” – is lying again. In a recent post, he presented grainy footage of a 1970s Tube station as supposed proof of a monochrome past. “London was always white,” his narrative implies. But history, the deep and documented truth of our capital city, says something profoundly different. […]
Israeli government hosts fascism’s heirs on Holocaust Memorial Day
This month’s second International Conference on Combating Antisemitism in Jerusalem will again provide a platform for far-right activists from racist organisations – some with a history of antisemitism. Last year’s conference proved a watershed moment exposing a deep divide between the man behind the conference – Amichai Chikli, Israeli Minister for Diaspora Affairs – and […]
Lawrence Fox’s heart of darkness
While many embraced the spirit of the season, actor-turned-activist Lawrence Fox chose a darker path, using the Christmas period to launch a foul attack on Green Party co-leader Zack Polanski. Fox’s assault is fixated on Polanski’s surname, implying duplicity. This attack is not merely offensive but -whether intended or not – it echoed one of […]
What lies behind Tommy Robinson’s manic moments ?
Tommy Robinson’s hyper-agitated behaviour during his Dubai confrontation with boxer Ty Mitchell has prompted much speculation about the possible cause of his super-energised condition. Indeed, it is the same question we asked about some of the videos he posted (usually from abroad) last year during and after the Southport riots. In one particularly paranoid post […]
Robinson’s Dubai trip a challenge to Emirates law
Tommy Robinson’s visit to Dubai has attracted attention both because of the hugely entertaining and widely circulated confrontation with boxer Ty Mitchell, and because it appears so at odds with everything Robinson represents. But it could also place him in legal jeopardy in the Emirates. Known internationally for his anti-Muslim activism, Robinson (real name Stephen […]
Tommy Robinson’s Christmas spirit – monetising the manger
London’s Whitehall echoed with carols today, as Tommy Robinson staged what he called a Christmas revival, complete with hymn sheets and nationalist flags. But beneath the glow of the fairy lights that bedecked his stage, this was just Robinson’s latest grift dressed up in seasonal wrapping paper. Robinson insists he’s “putting Christ back into Christmas,” […]
Courts want £100k from Tommy Robinson – the money hunt begins
The festive season was brightened up immeasurably this week by the sight of Tommy Robinson on the phone at the airport on his way back from Norway, being told that court bailiffs are chasing him for £103,000. The bailiffs had already, he was informed, been to his parents’ house where they believed he was living. […]
Christ in the crossfire: Tommy Robinson and the battle for Christmas
In the fading light of a December afternoon in 2025, central London prepares for two very different visions of Christmas. On one side, far-right activist Tommy Robinson (Stephen Yaxley-Lennon) was finalising plans for a “United for Christ this Christmas” open-air carol concert – a seasonal event under his “Unite the Kingdom” (UTK merchandise made in […]
Smirking Robinson wrecks chances of Israeli football fans watching Aston Villa game
When the Israeli football team Maccabi Tel Aviv visit Villa Park on 6 November for a Europa League fixture, there will be no away fans in the stands – not because of football rivalry, but because of fears that extremists could hijack the event. And at the centre of the controversy sits Tommy Robinson, whose […]
‘Tommy Robinson’ takes a ride on far-right billionaire’s train set
Tommy Robinson is obviously making the most of his time before his next court appearance on Monday when he will face an outstanding Terrorism Act offence and may face yet more jail time. First, there was another of those mysterious flying visits he makes to Portugal on his own. This time a couple of days […]
UK Jewish groups’ fury at Israeli Minister’s invitation to Tommy Robinson
Mainstream Jewish organisations in the UK have reacted angrily to an invitation to Tommy Robinson to visit Israel. The invitation has been extended by Amichai Chikli, a member of the Israeli Knesset and Minister for Diaspora Affairs in Benjamin Netanyahu’s government. Chikli announced the visit on Friday in a statement saying: “In the wake of […]
Newcastle: Advance opens the door to ‘Tommy Robinson’ and Tenconi is seen off
Newcastle had more than its fair share of far-right wingers turning up at the weekend, with Ben Habib’s Advance UK holding its launch conference in the city, and Nick Tenconi holding a demonstration with his UKIP goon squad. Ben Habib had planned a glitzy event to launch his Advance UK party, which has been endorsed […]
Tommy’s back on his sunbed – Panama City mayor lets him in
Tommy Robinson can now settle down to his SEVENTH spell on a foreign sun lounger this year after all. While he was waiting in the detention room at Panama City airport to be deported back to the UK, the local mayor intervened to get him into the country. We reported yesterday how Robinson, in search […]
Tommy Robinson’s latest sunshine holiday ends in deportation
Well, it was all too predictable that after his rally in London last week, ‘Tommy Robinson’ would use another lump of the money donated to him by his mug supporters to swan off on holiday. And he did. Or, he tried to. He chose Central America because, he said, it was somewhere he would not […]
