Tommy Robinson has told a court he spent £100,000 on gambling while receiving donations from supporters.

He was giving evidence about his finances after losing a libel case.

Robinson was ordered to pay damages to Syrian teenager Jamal Hijazi after defaming him online.

He was sued by Hijazi after the then 15-year-old was assaulted at Almondbury Community School in Huddersfield in October 2018.

The EDL founder declared himself bankrupt last year.

Casinos

Appearing at the Royal Courts of Justice in London at a hearing to discuss money he owes, he said at one point he was spending about £100,000 on gambling in casinos and online.

He admitted he wasted money on “drink, alcohol, partying” while receiving thousands of pounds in donations from supporters.

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
