US President-elect Donald Trump’s allies have been privately warned by senior UK right-wing politicians not to endorse far-right activist Tommy Robinson, following a call from billionaire Elon Musk for his release from prison. Several prominent Brexit-supporting politicians with ties to Trump have expressed concerns about endorsing Robinson, saying it would be “a step too far”. These warnings come as Conservative and Reform UK parties have distanced themselves from Robinson in the past, highlighting growing unease within some quarters of the UK right-wing about the activist’s extreme views.
