MEMBERS of Parliament have written to US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo to demand that the country maintains a travel ban against Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, also known as Tommy Robinson.

In the letter seen by the Star today, 55 MPs write in favour of the ban that was put in place after Mr Yaxley-Lennon tried to “fraudulently and criminally enter the United States” in 2012 by using his friend’s passport.

Mr Yaxley-Lennon, the former English Defence League leader, plans to travel to Washington DC next week for media appearances, for which he is expected to bag around £1 million.
