Live: Tommy Robinson due in court for hearing over contempt of court claims

Tommy Robinson is due to appear at Woolwich Crown Court in London on Monday, 28 October, for a hearing over contempt of court claims. The 41-year-old, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, is expected to appear at the two-day hearing concerning allegations that he breached a 2021 High Court order barring him from repeating libellous allegations against a Syrian refugee who successfully sued him. Mr Robinson is accused of being in contempt of court after the airing of a film at a protest in Trafalgar Square in July. He went to Folkestone police station on Friday where he was remanded into custody and separately charged with failing to provide his mobile phone access code to police under Schedule 7 of the Terrorism Act 2000.
