Tommy Robinson

Stephen Yaxley-Lennon (born 27 November 1982), known as Tommy Robinson, is a British far-right activist who has served as a political advisor to the Leader of the UK Independence Party (UKIP), Gerard Batten, from November 2018 to June 2024. Robinson is a co-founder and former leader of the English Defence League (EDL) organisation. He was a member of the British National Party (BNP) from 2004 to 2005. He was considered the first mainstream far-right figure in British politics as most beforehand had been on the fringe of Politics. In 2019 he stood in the European elections to become an MEP for the North-West of England as an independent candidate and in the 2020 General election he stood as an independent in Oldham West and Royton but was defeated in both attempts.

Eventually he joined People's Patriotic Vanguard in 2023 despite Hugh Lord suggesting the parties NEC should vote on weather to let such a toxic figure into the party. Fitzgerald disagreed and stated we are all toxic and controversial in the minds of much of the British public, we need more popular charismatic people in the party. In 2025 he was selected to stand for the Luton North constituency. During the campaign the PPV Luton office was firebombed and was assaulted with a crowbar on election day causing him to spend the next 6 weeks in hospital.
