Far-right agitator Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, aka Tommy Robinson, outside Westminster Magistrates' Court, central London, where he pleaded not guilty to two counts of harassment causing fear of violence, June 5, 2025

FAR-RIGHT agitator Stephen Yaxley-Lennon denied harassing two MailOnline journalists today as a court heard he told them “I’m coming to get you” and “I’ll be knocking at your door.”

The 42-year-old is charged with two counts of harassment causing fear of violence to Andrew Young and Jacob Dirnhuber through his X account between August 5 and 7, 2024.

He entered not guilty pleas at Southwark Crown Court after opting for a jury trial at Westminster Magistrates’ Court last month.

Yaxley-Lennon allegedly told Mr Young over the phone that he would visit his house and said “I’m coming to get you” on August 5 last year.

The next day at 10.45pm, he allegedly posted on his X account three edited photographs depicting Mr Young’s wife, daughter and his motor vehicle, with the message: “Hey @JDirnhuber get your colleague Andrew Young to call me back, you see he published pictures of my family and gave away their location.

“I’m working on a news piece myself about all of you, I won’t identify any innocent people or give address as that’s not morally right unlike you scum.

“You will all be questioned on camera about how you think endangering children is OK. My homework continues.”

He also allegedly sent direct messages to Mr Dirnhuber from his X account on the morning of August 5 saying: “I’ll be knocking at your door,” “Let your bosses know I’m coming to all your houses,” “Okay got your address” and “We need to talk.”

A date for his five-day jury trial was set to start at October 19 2026 at the court.
