Tommy Robinson's former wife has denied allegations that she failed to comply with corporate financial record-keeping regulations.

Jenna Lennon, 41, pleaded not guilty to three counts of failing to adhere to company accounting rules at Southwark Crown Court on Thursday.

Andrew Evans, prosecuting on behalf of the Insolvency Service, said the charges pertain to "various books and records offences" involving Hope & Pride Limited, a business where Lennon "was formerly the sole director".

Dressed in a black trouser suit, Lennon was released on bail by His Honour Judge Tony Baumgartner ahead of a further case management hearing on October 1 2026.

A trial date has been set for July 31 2028.

Lennon denied failing to surrender books and records to a liquidator between September 22 2023 and December 1 2025, contrary to the Insolvency Act 1986.

She also denied failing to ensure that the company kept adequate accounting records between September 18 2020 and September 19 2023 under the Companies Act 2006.

Lennon further denied failing to preserve corporate financial records over that same period, also contrary to the Companies Act 2006.

Robinson and Lennon married in 2011, but divorced in February 2021. They have three children together.

Robinson recently issued a surprise apology to a Muslim student who was targeted by an aggressive online hate campaign after a viral clip of their Oxford Union debate was taken out of context.

The controversial debate in mid-June focused on the motion "This House believes the West is right to be suspicious of Islam."

Robinson, real name Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, spoke in support of the motion, alongside Reclaim Party founder, Lawrence Fox, and Times of Israel journalist, Jonathan Sacerdoti. They lost the debate.

A clip circulating online after the debate was published on YouTube late last week, showed Aisha Khan-Aziz, a student speaker delivering the first speech for the opposition, introducing the speakers on the side opposite to her by making a joke about each of them, as per union tradition.

Introducing the former English Defence League (EDL) co-founder, Ms Khan-Aziz said: “Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, known to his hooligans as Tommy Robinson.

“Stephen, there is a crowd outside rioting against you tonight, and without the protection and generosity of a Muslim Palestinian president and a largely South Asian executive committee, you would be quite literally cooked."

The comments are widely understood to have emphasised the commitment of ethnic minority groups to freedom of expression.

While Robinson congratulated the opposition during the debate, the release of the clip has seen Ms Khan-Aziz face a litany of abuse on X. The Oxford student is accused of threatening the EDL leader with violence by supporters of the far-right.

But in a surprise move last week, Robinson took to social media, issuing an apology to Ms Khan-Aziz for allowing her words to be “taken out of context and weaponised.”

Admitting that there was no “Muslim mob” outside the university, Robinson added: "So I apologise Aisha, if you're watching this. I apologise, because I know you didn't mean that.

“And I should have spoken up from the first minute, but I was too interested in point scoring on the side of us against Islam, which is a w****r move because I know you didn't mean it."
