Sir Keir Starmer has defended the sentence given to Lucy Connolly, who was jailed for inciting racial hatred in the aftermath of the Southport terror attack, after her appeal against her 31-month sentence was rejected.
The Prime Minister said he was against “incitement to violence against other people”, when asked about Connolly’s case by Independent MP Rupert Lowe (Great Yarmouth). Her Court of Appeal application against her jail term was dismissed yesterday by three judges at the Royal Courts of Justice.
