Nigel Farage to champion Lucy Connolly’s story at US Congress
Reform UK leader to discuss the case when testifying about freedom of expression in the UK
Nigel Farage will tell Lucy Connolly’s story to key allies of Donald Trump when he gives evidence at a free speech hearing in the US next month.
The Reform UK leader will travel to Washington in early September to testify to members of Congress about threats to freedom of expression in Britain.
He is set to bring up the case of Mrs Connolly, who was released from prison last week after being jailed for 31 months over a social media post in the aftermath of the Southport attacks.
Mr Farage said the case of Mrs Connolly, who after her release described herself as a political prisoner, would be “a very central point of what I’m discussing”.
