Journalists had to flee their homes or take protection after Tommy Robinson's 'bully-boy tactics', a jury is told

Prosecutor Ben Holt told Southwark Crown Court that Tommy Robinson, real name Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, posted photographs of reporter Andrew Young's wife and children on X. Jacob Dirnhuber allegedly had to move house. Robinson denies two counts of harassment causing fear of violence between August 5 and 7, 2024. He allegedly saw the reporting as 'an unnecessary intrusion into his holiday'.

Young was sent to Cyprus to report on Robinson's whereabouts after the Southport murders.

Robinson is accused of telling Young in a phone call: 'I'm coming to get you.'

A voicemail to Mail editor Ted Verity allegedly said: 'I've already located every f****** one of you.'
