Tommy Robinson and his former wife, Jenna Lennon, are due to be sentenced at Southwark Crown Court in separate criminal proceedings on 16 December and 26 November 2026 respectively.
The cases concern different offences. Lennon has admitted failing to hand over company records to a liquidator, while Robinson was convicted of harassing two journalists and causing them to fear violence. Neither has yet been sentenced in the proceedings described here.
Jenna Lennon admitted accounting-records offence
Lennon, 41, pleaded guilty at Southwark Crown Court on 24 September to failing to surrender books and records belonging to Hope & Pride Limited to the company’s liquidator, as required under the Insolvency Act 1986. The period covered by the charge ran from 22 September 2023 to 1 December 2025.
According to a Press Association court report published by The Independent, she was granted bail and is due to return to the same court for sentencing on 26 November.
Companies House records show that Hope & Pride entered creditors’ voluntary liquidation on 19 September 2023. The disqualified directors register confirms that Lennon is barred from acting as a company director without permission from 19 March 2025 until 18 March 2032.
What the financial figures establish
Following the company’s liquidation, the Insolvency Service said the absence of adequate accounting records prevented the liquidator from verifying the nature of substantial transactions. Its findings included:
- £1,178,364 paid into the company’s accounts that could not be verified
- £1,133,964 in outgoing payments for which the purpose could not be established
- £151,000 in additional payments recorded as ‘J Lennon dividends’ that could not be verified
- Estimated unpaid corporation tax of £319,423, forming most of the company’s recorded liabilities of £327,923
Those figures were reported alongside the Insolvency Service’s disqualification action in March 2025, including by Luton Today and Credit Connect.
Unverified transactions are not the same as proven theft or a £1.1 million shortfall. The findings do not establish that the money was stolen. The estimated corporation tax was a liability of Hope & Pride, not an established personal tax debt owed by Lennon.
Searchlight has reported that Hope & Pride was used in connection with Robinson’s media and political activities, including his TR News operation. That reported connection does not establish his involvement in Lennon’s accounting-records offence, and he is not being sentenced in that case.
Robinson convicted of harassing journalists
On 28 October, a Southwark Crown Court jury convicted Stephen Lennon, known as Tommy Robinson, of two counts of harassment causing fear of violence under the Protection from Harassment Act 1997. The victims were journalists Andrew Young and Jacob Dirnhuber.
The Crown Prosecution Service confirmed the verdicts and said Robinson used social media, telephone contact and photographs relating to the journalists and their families as part of the harassment.
According to the Metropolitan Police, the case followed reporting on Robinson’s holiday in Cyprus during the unrest after the Southport murders in 2024. Robinson hired private investigators to locate journalists’ home addresses and published photographs online. The journalists reported fearing for their safety and their families.
Robinson denied wrongdoing and argued that his actions were intended to protect his family after press photographs were published. The jury rejected his defence and found him guilty on both counts. He was granted bail pending sentencing on 16 December.
What happens next
Both sentencing hearings are scheduled before Christmas, but the outcomes are not known. A custodial sentence is possible in each case, although it would be inaccurate to suggest that imprisonment has already been ordered.
The two prosecutions are separate, concern different conduct and should not be treated as a joint case.
