Stephen Yaxley-Lennon may appear to be a one-man band, but behind him is a colourful inner circle helping to pull the strings of the far right
The Tommy Robinson outriders were early to Epping. Wendell Daniel, a former Labour councillor who is now a film-maker for Robinson’s Urban Scoop video platform, turned his microphone to a young woman on the edge of the protests in the Essex town.
“Look into that,” he said pointing to the camera. “Talk to Tommy, tell him you want to see him coming down here.”
“Tommy,” she responded, “I think you should definitely come down because you will help out the situation so much more.”
Robinson, 42, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, was quick to respond: “Hear you loud & clear, I’m coming to Epping next Sunday ladies & bringing thousands more with me,” he said on X. The actor and rightwing activist Laurence Fox was coming along too, he added.
