Tuesday, 29 September 2026 11:46

Anti-migrant activist Daniel Thomas, known as Danny Tommo, has been remanded in custody ahead of his trial next year.

The 37-year-old, who is accused of criminal damage to a boat in the English Channel, appeared at Portsmouth Crown Court on Tuesday morning.

Thomas, whose address was withheld by the court at a previous hearing, appeared via videolink from prison wearing a grey T-shirt and holding a copy of the Holy Bible.

He had already pleaded not guilty to a charge of criminal damage after he allegedly slashed a boat in the English Channel with an emergency responder on board on 22 September.

Thomas has also denied failing to disclose the Pin to his phone to police, under Section 53 of the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 2000.

A provisional trial date was set for 1 March 2027 at Tuesday's hearing.
