British far-right activist Tommy Robinson will appear in a London court for the start of his trial on charges of harassing two journalists .
Robinson, 43, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, is charged with two counts of harassment causing fear of violence to MailOnline reporters Andrew Young and Jacob Dirnhuber through his X account between August 5 and 7 in 2024.
Robinson, who founded the English Defence League, entered not guilty pleas to the charges in July, 2025.
He is accused of harassment causing fear of violence through X posts and direct messages, and an alleged telephone call on August 5, 2024, in which he is accused of threatening Young, saying he would visit his house, saying: "I'm coming to get you".
One of the direct messages Robinson is accused of sending Dirnhuber on X on the same day allegedly said: "I'll be knocking at your door".
The trial will take place at Southwark Crown Court on Monday.
