- Lucy Connolly, a former childminder, has been released from prison after serving part of a 31-month sentence for inciting racial hatred.
- She was jailed for a social media post that called for setting fire to hotels housing asylum seekers, which she later claimed was made in a 'red mist' of anger.
- Connolly asserts she was made a 'political prisoner' and that her statements were 'massively twisted' by the police and Crown Prosecution Service, prompting her to consider legal action.
- She is scheduled to meet with representatives of Donald Trump's administration, who are reportedly 'keen to speak' with her and are 'big advocates for free speech'.
- Northamptonshire Police have acknowledged Connolly's comments made since her release and intend to contact her to understand the issues she has raised regarding their conduct.
