Moment Tommy Robinson threatens Channel 4 Dispatches journalist as documentary investigates his finances and claims he lied under oath in High Court

This is the moment Tommy Robinson threatened a Channel 4 reporter investigating his finances and claiming he lied under oath in court.
The Right-wing protester left an angry voice note issuing a 'declaration of war' against Matt Shea who had told him about the investigation and requested an interview.
The Dispatches documentary, which airs tomorrow at 10pm, claims Robinson may have lied while giving evidence about his involvement in a firm run by his ex-wife.
Robinson told Shea in a voice note: 'I know what you're going to be getting at mate, you're gonna be trying to imply that I have millions. Where the f**k are the millions? All I receive is a set wage and I'm happy with that, yeah, because I love the work I do.'
He added: 'Matt, you are irrelevant. We are gonna declare a declaration of war on you and your media because you're s**t. Whatever you do in this documentary to make me look bad, whatever you do, I am gonna go on to fabulous things.
'I have the support of the public. The public f**king hate you, all of you. My plans for the future, I want to cause a f**king revolution mate, whilst you're sitting there drinking your f**king soy milk.'
Shea, who carried out a year-long investigation into the activist, then tells the camera: 'Not that it matters, but I actually drink semi-skimmed milk.'
Robinson was questioned about his finances in a High Court hearing on June 9, 2022, after he failed to pay any of the £100,000 in damages and costs awarded against him after losing a high-profile case against Jamal Hijazi, a Syrian schoolboy he libelled.
He had been sued by Mr Hijazi, who was assaulted at school in Huddersfield in 2018. After a clip of the incident went viral, Robinson made false claims on Facebook, including about Mr Hijazi attacking girls in his school, leading to the libel case.
During the High Court hearing, Robinson was questioned about a company called Lennon Consultancy Limited, which handled donations from his supporters and was run by his ex-wife, Jenna Lennon, whom he divorced in 2021.
He was asked: 'What did this company do?' Robinson replied: 'It was a company owned by my ex-wife'; 'it's not my company'; and 'I don't know.'
But Channel 4 claims it has seen documents that show he was actively involved in running the company - including a 2018 legal agreement signed by Robinson for and on behalf of Lennon Consultancy, using his real name.
The documentary also reveals emails that show him handling company business, managing staff and telling Ms Lennon how much to pay people.
Sir Max Hill KC, the former director of public prosecutions, says the allegations against Robinson are 'deeply concerning' and claims police could launch an investigation into perjury.
The programme also hears from multiple people Robinson has raised funds for - including a grooming gang survivor, who claim they never received money from these appeals.
Sir Max says the failure to pass on funds to the grooming gang survivor is 'likely to be fraud'.
He adds: 'There is evidence that at least in 2018, Lennon was acting in some capacity in relation to Lennon Consultancy Limited… That signature on a document in 2018 suggests that he wasn't telling the truth.'
The programme also claims that both Robinson and Ms Lennon each received a £70,000 dividend from Lennon Consultancy in the space of one year.
Robinson was asked in court if he and his wife treated their respective 'funds and monies entirely separately.' His answer was: 'Yes.'
He was also asked: 'So her earnings went into one account and yours went into another?' He said: 'My earnings were only put into my account.'
But the documents Channel 4 has seen show large sums of money went directly into Ms Lennon's personal account that appear to be connected to Robinson's work.
Having seen the evidence, Sir Max says: 'It's deeply concerning when you show me the documents that you have… I do think that there is enough there to justify opening an investigation into... the criminal offence of perjury under the 1911 Act, which, if proved, can result in a prison sentence of up to seven years' imprisonment.
'It seems to me that the Metropolitan Police and or the City of London Police who have a national remit for fraud investigations, could justifiably be asked to consider whether a criminal investigation led by the offence of perjury but not necessarily limited to that offence should be commenced.'
Robinson, real name Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, is thought to have raised millions of pounds in donations from his supporters over the last eight years.
The documentary claims that because of the way donations are handled through a series of companies which have failed to file financial accounts, it has been impossible to know what happens to the money.
But Shea has spent months speaking to former insiders and people Robinson said he would help, as well as tracking donations in cryptocurrency and analysing company filings, court records and public documents.
In addition, Robinson previously said he has been 'debanked' from the UK's banking system, but the programme uncovers a UK bank account in his real name which has been active since at least November 2025.
The investigation also contains allegations that £6,000 in Bitcoin from a donations wallet set up to support Robinson may have been spent on gambling.
Shea says: 'It does feel like we've finally managed to pierce the veil of secrecy surrounding Robinson's finances.
'People he says he's raised cash for have not received that money. And he has serious questions to answer about whether he told the truth in court, under oath, about his own wealth.
'Tommy Robinson continues to ask for donations every week from his supporters. After everything we found in this investigation, will those supporters keep donating?'
In a written response to the allegations, Robinson said the bank account is 'a personal basic account… I do not have a normal current account… Supporters' donations are not paid into my personal accounts… I have been closed by multiple banks … The… account you tested is not a contradiction of that.'
He said the grooming gang victim 'stopped speaking to us years ago and has not engaged with us since… We could not pay someone we could not reach and who did not want contact.' Robinson said four other survivors featured in his films 'have had financial support and ongoing care from us.' He added: 'I deny fraud.'
Robinson said Lennon Consultancy 'was associated with my then-wife. I worked in and around that operation… The five UK companies … were run by other people. I worked for them… If accounts were not filed, if companies were struck off or liquidated, if HMRC is owed money, that is a matter for those directors...'
He said he and Ms Lennon 'did keep funds separate in the sense I described to the court: her money was hers…. I deny perjury… I did not pay Mr Hijazi because I was made bankrupt.
'I work for Circulo Independente Unipessoal Lda. Appeals are often made in my name because I am the public face of the work. Supporter donations are received and spent by the company on overheads, events, campaigns, documentaries and related work. I am paid contract fees.'
Robinson said a quote for PA hire for a recent event was more than £500,000, which 'shows that a single rally of that scale is a significant production cost.'
On the cryptocurrency claim, he said he did not accept 'chain-analysis as proof', adding: 'I deny that donor funds - cash, crypto, or otherwise - were a gambling float.'
Producers also wrote to Ms Lennon but did not receive a reply.
