Tommy Robinson to be FREED from jail within days after ‘change in attitude’

Tommy Robinson will be freed from jail within days after showing a "change in attitude".

The far-Right activist - real name Stephen Yaxley-Lennon - was locked up for 18 months in October for contempt of court.

Robinson had made multiple breaches of an injunction in 2021, which barred him from repeating false allegations against a Syrian refugee who successfully sued him for libel.

His sentence was made up of a 14-month "punitive" element and a four-month "coercive" element.

This meant he could have the four months slashed from his jail term if he were to "purge" his contempt and show steps not to break the injunction that originally landed him behind bars.

In a ruling, Mr Justice Johnson said that there was an "absence of contrition or remorse" from Robinson, but that he had shown a "change in attitude" since he was sentenced.

He said: "He (Robinson) has given an assurance that he will comply with the injunction in the future, that he has no intention of breaching it again, and that he is aware of the consequences of what would happen if he breached the injunction again."

Lawyers for the Solicitor General also agreed that Robinson had taken steps to adhere to the injunction.

The former EDL leader will now be back on the streets within the next week.
