> Tommy Robinson appeals for early prison release

The far-right anti-Islam activist Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, better known as Tommy Robinson, has urged the Court of Appeal to let him out of prison early because he says it is making him ill.

Yaxley-Lennon was jailed for 18 months last October for contempt of court because he ignored an order not to repeat lies about a Syrian refugee.
