Tommy Robinson has been found guilty of harassment of two Daily Mail journalists.
The far-right activist, real name Stephen Yaxley-Lennon was found guilty today (28 October) on two counts of harassment causing fear of violence at Southwark Crown Court.
The charges relate to the 43-year-old’s response to a story ran by the Daily Mail which highlighted Robinson’s family holiday in Cyprus during unrest in the UK following the Southport murders in 2024.
Robinson claimed that the reports exposed his family’s location and put them at risk, the BBC reports.

However, the prosecution’s case was that his response went beyond complaining about the reporting, but also involved targeting the journalists responsible for the story.
The court had heard how Robinson, used “bully-boy, intimidatory tactics” to frighten Mail reporters Andrew Young and Jacob Dirnhuber.
This led to the journalists being forced to employ security or leave home.
