Tommy Robinson To Go On Trial Over Alleged Harassment Of Two Journalists

Robinson, 43, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, is charged with two counts of harassment causing fear of violence to MailOnline reporters Andrew Young and Jacob Dirnhuber through his X account between August 5 and 7 2024.

Robinson, who founded the English Defence League, entered not guilty pleas to the charges in July last year.

He is accused of harassment causing fear of violence through X posts and direct messages, and an alleged telephone call on August 5 2024, in which he is accused of telling Mr Young he would visit his house, saying: “I’m coming to get you.”

One of the direct messages Robinson is accused of sending Mr Dirnhuber on X on the same day allegedly said: “I’ll be knocking at your door.”

The trial will take place at Southwark Crown Court.
