Tommy Robinson's Tax Returns & Grenfell Delays

Double Jeopardy - The Law and Politics Podcast

In this latest episode of Double Jeopardy, Ken Macdonald and Tim Owen are joined by Dan Neidle, Founder of Tax Policy Associates, to explore the finances of Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, the far-right street agitator and self-styled journalist who calls himself Tommy Robinson. The trio explore how Yaxley-Lennon has monetised his presence on the internet through ‘donations’ and ‘gifts’ from his followers, which are then passed through multiple off-the-shelf companies. Ken, Tim and Dan investigate the tax implications of these ‘donations’, and the potential tax liabilities that Yaxley-Lennon may face now that HMRC has reportedly opened an investigation into him. To close the episode, Ken & Tim also touch on the Grenfell Inquiry Report and the glacial pace of criminal investigations in the UK justice system, highlighting the inefficiencies in the UK's investigative and legal processes as well as the need for major investment in the system.
