TOMMY ROBINSON has been summoned to court to face contempt proceedings after he failed to attend the High Court for questioning over his finances.

Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, was due to appear at the Royal Courts of Justice in London last month in connection with unpaid legal bills after he lost a libel case brought against him by a Syrian teenager last year.

But after the 39-year-old did not appear for the expected questioning, a High Court judge has now issued a summons ordering Robinson to attend a hearing on May 6.
