Right-wing activist Tommy Robinson was arrested for “frustration” of police counter-terrorism powers after he was stopped at a port in Kent.

Kent Police did not identify the political campaigner, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley Lennon, but confirmed that a 41-year-old had been arrested on Sunday.
