Free Speech Row: White House ‘Monitoring’ Lucy Connolly Case After She Was Jailed For Hate Tweet

The White House has said it is “monitoring” the case of Lucy Connolly in an escalation of free speech tensions with Sir Keir Starmer.

Her Court of Appeal application against her jail term was dismissed last week by three judges at the Royal Courts of Justice.

She had posted on X on the day of the murder of three children by Axel Rudakubana in Southport: “Mass deportation now, set fire to all the f****** hotels full of the b******* for all I care… if that makes me racist so be it.”

A spokesman for the state department said: “We can confirm that we are monitoring this matter.

“The United States supports freedom of expression at home and abroad, and remains concerned about infringements on freedom of expression.”

Talk’s Dr David Bull discusses the story with former Conservative MP Bob Seely.
