| Tommy Robinson jailed after breaking contempt of court laws with Facebook Live video | |
| (35 minutes later) | |
| Tommy Robinson has been jailed for 13 months for breaking contempt of court laws with a Facebook Live video. | |
| His sentence can be revealed for the first time after The Independent and Leeds Live fought a reporting restriction put on the case at Leeds Crown Court. | |
| Robinson, whose real name was listed on court documents as Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, was arrested outside the court on Friday. | |
| He admitted committing contempt of court by publishing information that could prejudice an ongoing trial. | |
| The 35-year-old was already subject to a suspended sentence for committing contempt during a rape trial in Canterbury last year, and had been told that if he fell foul of the law again he would go to prison. | |
