MPs condemn hosting of Tommy Robinson by Trump administration

British MPs are condemning the Trump administration for hosting Tommy Robinson (Stephen Yaxley-Lennon), a far-right activist with a history of criminal convictions. Robinson's US visit, where he met with government officials and a congressman, has raised concerns about how he overcame a previous US entry ban. MPs are calling for the US to be included in an ongoing UK inquiry into foreign interference in British politics, citing concerns about potential meddling in UK democracy. The visit follows the Trump administration's alignment with European far-right politicians and Robinson's attempts to gain influence among Trump's base with anti-Muslim rhetoric. While the UK government has been hesitant to comment, Labour MPs have criticized Robinson's activities and the US administration's support.
