Senior politicians on the UK right have privately contacted Donald Trump’s allies, urging the US President-elect’s team not to endorse British far-right activist Tommy Robinson, after billionaire Tesla boss Elon Musk called for him to be released from prison.

Summary

UK right-wing politicians, including allies of Nigel Farage, have privately urged Donald Trump’s team to avoid endorsing far-right activist Tommy Robinson, following Elon Musk’s calls for Robinson’s release from prison.

Musk, a close Trump adviser, has faced backlash for supporting Robinson, who is jailed for contempt of court and has a history of criminal convictions.

Farage and other mainstream UK conservatives have distanced themselves from Robinson, warning that such endorsements could harm their political credibility.

Musk’s controversial posts continue to stir tensions within UK and US political circles.

    Musk thinks that because he is rich, all his ideas are valid.

    He has no idea of things that anyone in the UK could tell you. Reform is only a thing because of Farage. Without him it’s dead, and frankly, it should and will be even with him. The Tory faithful will return to the fold now their protest vote delivered a Labour government with a massive majority.

    Tommy Robinson is popular with football hooligans and that’s about it.
