TOMMY ROBINSON lost an appeal against his 18-month contempt of court sentence today.

The English Defence League founder was jailed last October after admitting 10 breaches of a 2021 High Court order that forbade him from repeating libellous claims against a young Syrian refugee.

In 2018, then schoolboy Mr Hijazi was assaulted at Almondbury Community School in Huddersfield.
