Far-Right Figure Tommy Robinson to Detail 'Broken Britain' in Exclusive Interview as Advance UK Surges in Polls

London – Far-right activist Tommy Robinson is set to appear in an exclusive interview with "citizen journalist" Mario Nawfal, promising to delve into the "decline of Broken Britain." The upcoming discussion, announced via Nawfal's social media, will reportedly cover issues of unchecked illegal immigration and government policies, positioning Robinson as a figurehead speaking "truth to power" amidst growing political discontent. This interview comes as the newly formed Advance UK party, with which Robinson has recently affiliated, aims to reshape the UK's political landscape.

Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, has a long history as a prominent anti-Islam campaigner and far-right activist, co-founding the English Defence League (EDL) in 2009. He has faced numerous legal battles, including convictions for assault, mortgage fraud, and multiple contempt of court offenses, leading to several prison terms. Most recently, he was released in May 2025 after a High Court decision reduced his 18-month sentence for breaching an injunction related to false allegations against a Syrian refugee.

The interview's focus on "unchecked illegal immigration" reflects ongoing national debates, with public concern about immigration rising significantly in late 2022 and 2023. Recent data indicates nearly 28,000 migrants crossed the English Channel in small boats by August 2025, contributing to the perceived "migrant crisis." This situation has fueled anti-immigration protests and heightened political rhetoric across the UK.

The tweet highlights the potential for "political upheaval" driven by new parties like Advance UK, which "promise to restore balance to society, surge in the polls." Launched in June 2025 by former Reform UK deputy leader Ben Habib, Advance UK is described as a far-right political party emphasizing national sovereignty, freedom of speech, and strict adherence to UK law. Tommy Robinson announced his intention to join the party in early August 2025, further solidifying its far-right alignment and drawing support from controversial figures like Elon Musk, who has publicly backed Advance UK.

Mario Nawfal, the interviewer, is a Lebanese-Australian entrepreneur and "citizen journalist" known for hosting "The Roundtable Show" on X, which has featured high-profile and often controversial guests. Nawfal himself has faced scrutiny, including a 2015 conviction for misleading product representation and recent allegations of financial misconduct, which he denies. His platform provides a significant reach for Robinson's views, potentially amplifying his narrative about the UK's challenges and the role of new political movements.
