Tommy Robinson’s former assistant has broken her silence following the riots that have hit towns and cities across the UK.

Lucy Brown, who worked with Robinson between 2017 and 2018, has now claimed his ego has led to riots “evolving” across Britain, following large-scale riots in Southport, Rotherham, Hull, and Plymouth.

Speaking to Times Radio on Tuesday (6 August), Brown claimed Robinson’s attitude became “very nasty and misogynistic” as he became more well-known.

She said: “The scenes that we are seeing are the very thing we were trying to stop by creating independent journalism, by giving people voices, by raising awareness of issues we felt that the mainstream media weren’t maybe addressing enough.”
