@ezralevant @TRobinsonNewEra The UK government is trying to systematically destroy Tommy. He owes over £300K for his imprisonment and faces multiple additional charges for ridiculous, made-up crimes. They believe they can break him. Can they?

@ezralevant @TRobinsonNewEra The English Constitution would really help Tommy. @englishexit is a brilliant source of knowledge of Our Constitution and Our resultant rights. Tommy needs to use ENGLISH barristers and ENGLISH law

Help Tommy Robinson's kids! We set up a trust fund to support them while he's in prison Imagine how hard it must be having Tommy Robinson as your dad. Now, with Tommy sentenced to a lengthy prison term, his kids don't have a dad at all — that's why we've set up a crowdfund with 100% of the proceeds going to support his three children. Tommy Robinson 🇬🇧 is a journalist, a civil rights activist and a political prisoner. But he has a private life too — he’s the father of three kids. I’ve met them and they’re just wonderful. But you can imagine how hard it is having Tommy Robinson as your dad. They’ve had to relocate, just to stay safe. They’ve faced threats. And now with Tommy sentenced to a lengthy prison term, they don’t have dad around at all. I met with Tommy before he was sent to prison, and I made him a promise that I’d help his family because Tommy will be away from home for a long time. And though I hate to even say the words, there’s also a risk that Tommy will be harmed in prison, or worse — you know the government would like that. So, Ezra Levant 🍁🚛 told Tommy that I’d set up a crowdfund for supporters who want to give to a trust fund, set up to take care of the three children — 100% of the proceeds will go to a trust fund for the children. I’m honoured to have made the first donation. Tommy has made the choice to pay a personal price for his activism. But his whole family pays that price, too. He’ll miss Christmas with them this year, and all three birthdays. If you love Tommy Robinson and his sacrifice, join me in helping take care of the kids.

What I saw at the Tommy Robinson hearing today Today Tommy Robinson (Tommy Robinson 🇬🇧) had a hearing at the Royal Courts of Justice. The judge was Martin Chamberlain. The question at hand was this: are Tommy’s prison conditions dire enough that he needs an expedited hearing to review how the prison is treating him? As in: are things so bad that the courts need to move very quickly to review things — as opposed to their normal, slow pace? On Tommy’s team was prison lawyer Sara Watson and a barrister named Alisdair Williamson, KC. (Williamson was Tommy’s successful lawyer last year, when the Metropolitan Police tried to ban Tommy from going into the city of London. He’s really good.) On the other side was a battery of government lawyers — I counted four, led by Tom Cross, KC. Just stop for a moment to think about that: the UK government hired FOUR lawyers, at taxpayers expense, to fight against Tommy Robinson’s request to have an expediting hearing to review his atrocious treatment in prison. They probably spent more than £150,000 of tax dollars just on today’s battle. (Imagine if Keir Starmer put that much energy and effort into fighting real crime in the UK.) It’s not justice. It’s a vendetta. I’ve attended a lot of trials for Tommy over the years; he’s won some and he’s lost some. But this one felt good. Tommy’s team had a report from an expert psychologist who went to prison to examine Tommy. She found that, being kept in a small cell 21 hours a day, for more than 140 days, has induced a kind of PTSD in Tommy. The government didn’t even try to contradict those findings. They did, however, try to say that Tommy had all the privileges he could ask for, including visits, phone calls, a computer, TV and the like. But as the government lawyer was saying that, Tommy — who was on a video link from prison — started waving his hands, signalling to the judge that he had something to say. The judge stopped the proceedings and invited Williamson to phone Tommy to see what the fuss was about. The court took a half hour break. And then something incredible happened. The government lawyer had just been bragging about how luxurious Tommy’s treatment was — including how many phone calls he could make. But when the court resumed, Tommy held up a sign to the video camera in his prison video room. And on it, he wrote that the prison had cut off the phone call in the middle of his conversation with Williamson! The judge saw that note and asked what happened. And indeed it was true: literally in the middle of Tommy’s conversation with Williamson, the bullies at the prison cut off the phone call, as they have done to him so many times before. As Williamson said to the judge, the one act of misconduct that the entire court witnessed proved that when it came to Tommy, there’s a big difference between what the prison says and what the prison does. The judge was angry — remember, it was he who had asked Williamson to consult with Tommy; it was an important part of the hearing, to make sure the judge had all the facts. The bullies at the prison weren’t just messing around with Tommy this time; they were messing around with a judge. The judge tore a strip off the government lawyer, and had a one-hour break for Tommy to talk to his lawyers properly. When we all resumed, the judge said the prison’s shenanigans had delayed things so much, the judge wasn’t ready to release his ruling today — he’ll do that tomorrow. What a note to end on. I’m not saying it’s a sure thing that Tommy is going to win. But it couldn’t have been a clearer illustration of how the prison casually abuses Tommy, and gaslights him about it. Except this time, they didn’t seem to realize they were fighting with the judge, too. It was quite a dramatic moment. I spoke to Williamson after the hearing, and he says he’ll share the ruling with me tomorrow when the judge releases it — I’ll make sure to send you an email with the results as soon as I can. What a day. I’m on my way back to Canada now, but I’m very glad I came. My live-tweeting had millions of views today from around the world — a lot of people are interested in Tommy’s case. There were a few journalists there from the mainstream media, including a few real Tommy-haters. I recognized one of them from the BBC. So it feels great knowing that my tweets and videos will have far more viewers than their anti-Tommy propaganda. I’m so glad I came! My flight from Canada was seven hours each way, plus the taxi ride in from Heathrow was another hour each way. That’s a sixteen-hour round-trip journey, for just a few hours in court. But I’m really glad I made the trip. REPORT by Ezra Levant 🍁🚛:

BREAKING: Will a judge let Tommy Robinson (Tommy Robinson 🇬🇧) out of prison tomorrow? 🇬🇧 I honestly don’t know if Tommy Robinson can ever get a fair hearing in the UK. I’m on my way to London again. Tommy Robinson is in court again. The last two efforts have failed: one hearing was to appeal his sentence; another hearing was to review his atrocious treatment in prison. But neither worked. I honestly don’t know if Tommy Robinson can ever get a fair hearing in the UK. But this time I think it’s different — and if I had to bet on it, I’d bet he’s going to be let out of prison. Tomorrow is a hearing where Tommy will seek to “purge his contempt”. That’s a technical legal term for making things right with the justice system. Tommy was found in contempt — and sentenced to prison — because he posted a video to Twitter, contrary to a judge’s order. That video has since been seen more than 160 million times, making it the most most-watched documentary in British history. But as long as that video was online, the judge wouldn’t let Tommy out. So Tommy took it down. He held the line for 200 days. But being kept in abusive conditions, in solitary confinement, for more than half a year is not something anyone can — or should — endure. Tommy made his point: the UK is not a country that respects freedom of speech. And Keir Starmer made his point: he’ll send his prosecutors to hunt down anyone who talks about uncomfortable subjects like refugees, radical Islam or terrorism. According to the Times of London, there are literally 30 arrests every day in the UK of people saying things on social media. But Tommy’s video is now down. There is no more contempt of court. And Tommy’s lawyers will make that case to the judge. (We don’t yet know if Starmer’s prosecutors will be there to try to keep him in longer — it wouldn’t surprise me.) That’s why I’m flying over night, and will be at the court first thing in the morning to live-tweet the proceedings. You can follow my tweets on X, and I’ll also file video reports to At that same website, you can help crowdfund my economy-class airfare to the UK, if you think my work is valuable. (Thanks.) Normally I head straight home after these hearings — sometimes I don’t even stay in the UK for a full day. But if Tommy is successful tomorrow, he could be let out by the prison later this week. I’ll wait around for a few days in the hopes of catching that wonderful moment — and you’ll be the first to know when it happens. Thanks for your support — for me (Ezra Levant 🍁🚛), and more importantly, for Tommy. P.S. The mainstream media — or as I now call it, the “regime media” — will be out in force. They always are, when Tommy’s in court. But when I read their reports, I can scarcely believe we’re at the same hearing. They just can’t stop their anti-Tommy, pro-censorship bias.

What do ordinary British people think of Tommy Robinson (Tommy Robinson 🇬🇧)🇬🇧? Ezra Levant 🍁🚛 asks British residents on the streets of London about their thoughts on Tommy Robinson, the state of free speech in the U.K., immigration, and more. While on a mission in the U.K., Rebel News publisher Ezra Levant spoke with British residents in London about their thoughts on incarcerated journalist and activist Tommy Robinson. Robinson is currently being held in solitary confinement after publishing a documentary called Silenced, which exposes the two-tiered justice system and corruption present in the U.K. In a letter to Robinson's lawyer, the governor of the prison where he's being held conceded that “the polarising nature of his ideology” is partially why he's being punished to solitary confinement. Speaking about Robinson's incarceration, one man actually said that he thinks Robinson should be behind bars for even longer than he currently is set to be. "It's not long enough for him, he should have been jailed for longer. He's racist," the man said. Ezra asked a different man if it's possible that Robinson is being targeted by law enforcement for shining a light on uncomfortable truths. "No he hasn't, his is the politics of hate and prejudice and it's as simple as that," the man said. "You know what I would say to him and all people like him, is when people stop wanting to come to this country, we are really in trouble," he added. Despite many Brits showing their disdain for Robinson, the journalist and activist's documentary Silenced has been viewed over 155 million times on X. Robinson has also mentioned that he has received countless letters of support while incarcerated.

Tommy Robinson back in court over privacy battle with journalists Sheila Gunn Reid catches up with citizen journalist and activist Tommy Robinson 🇬🇧 prior to a court appearance over allegations he harassed journalists from the Daily Mail. This morning, I was in rainy London, England, where I sat down with citizen journalist and activist Tommy Robinson over breakfast. Tommy is facing two new criminal harassment charges for confronting two journalists who photographed his children while he was on a private family holiday in Cyprus. They invaded his privacy, but now he's the one on trial. Tommy's just been released from prison on charges of civil contempt following his release of a documentary. With a real chance of being remanded back into custody, we caught up with Tommy before his court appearance. Tommy wondered why the Daily Mail journalists took pictures of his innocent family members, “when they're fully aware” of the threats he faces. “They run a headline, basically told the world that I was instigating and organizing the riots,” he said, recalling riots across the United Kingdom following the killing of three young girls in Southport in July 2024. After the story was published, Tommy said he wanted the journalists to answer questions about why they exposed his family. The story “wasn't news” he says, rather an attempt to cause “maximum disruption, maximum problems, maximum danger” and to “scapegoat” and “endanger” him. “I made it very clear,” he said, telling the journalists he was going to ask them questions in response on camera. “I'm not going to show images of your family; I'm not going to give away your locations,” he explained. “That's what they done to me.” Thursday's court hearing, Tommy says, is an attempt to censor him.
