Political activist Tommy Robinson is due to appear in court accused of harassing two journalists.
Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, is accused of harassing MailOnline reporters Andrew Young and Jacob Dirnhuber, and their family members, through his X account between August 5 and 7 2024.
The 42-year-old is due to appear at Southwark Crown Court on Thursday following his not guilty pleas at Westminster Magistrates’ Court last month.
Prosecutors told a previous hearing that none of the alleged harassment contained direct threats of violence.
After the last hearing, Robinson spoke of how he had “never had” the opportunity to have a jury trial and wanted “12 members of the British public” to hear the evidence in the case.
Robinson will face a trial preparation hearing when he appears in court on Thursday.
