Activist Tommy Robinson (Stephen Yaxley-Lennon) travels in Russia and posts video of a meeting in Moscow with Errol Musk, the father of Elon Musk. Multiple outlets report that Robinson shares footage of himself and Errol Musk together in a hotel and makes statements in the video asserting that Russia is “not an enemy” of Britain. The Independent also reports that Robinson says “We are going to go and cause some trouble.”
The reporting links the Moscow trip to Robinson’s broader campaigning activity in the UK. The Guardian says Robinson is issuing calls for supporters to take to the streets across the UK following a bloody knife attack in Belfast. Daily Mail coverage adds that Robinson previously attended an annual Kremlin-backed economic forum in St Petersburg described by the paper as “Russia’s Davos.”
One outlet, The Canary, accompanies its report with allegations about Errol Musk’s personal conduct, while other sources focus on the meeting and Robinson’s statements and protest appeals. The accounts collectively describe the meeting, the location and the online video posted by Robinson, without detailing any official outcomes from the encounter.
