Tommy Robinson is alleged to have breached a High Court order issued in 2021 barring him from repeating libellous allegations against a Syrian refugee. Tommy Robinson has been served his second contempt of court notice via his official Twitter/X page. The founder of the far-right English Defence League, real name Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, was handed a new contempt notice by The Attorney General’s Office, on behalf of the Solicitor General Sarah Sackman MP. He is alleged to have breached a High Court order issued in 2021 barring him from repeating libellous allegations against a Syrian refugee who successfully sued him. Mr Robinson, the former leader of the far-right English Defence League, had his account deactivated in 2018 for breaching Twitter’s “hateful conduct” policy but was reinstated by Elon Musk in November. A spokesperson for the Attorney General’s office said: “Stephen Yaxley-Lennon was served via his personal X, formerly known as Twitter, account on Wednesday 28 August after the application was lodged with the High Court on Monday 19 August. He was also served via his email address on Wednesday 21 August. “The contempt application relates to actions by Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, also known as Tommy Robinson, during June and July 2024 which are alleged to have breached the terms of an order imposed by the High Court on 22 July 2021 preventing him from repeating libellous statements.
