Tommy Robinson not guilty of terror offence after not giving police access to his phone

Far-right activist Tommy Robinson has been found not guilty of a terror offence after not giving police access to his phone in July 2024.

The 42-year-old, who was charged under his real name Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, was stopped by officers at the Channel Tunnel in Folkestone while driving a silver Bentley.

Police became suspicious of Robinson’s “vague replies” about his travel plans and demanded access to his iPhone under Schedule 7 of the Terrorism Act 2000, Westminster.

Westminster Magistrates’ Court heard that officers who detained Robinson had “no real recollection” of questions asked during the 40-minute stop on 28 July last year.
