Calvin Robinson is a far-right commentator and evangelical priest who developed a following largely through his weekly show on GB News, “Calvin’s Common Sense Crusade”, which often saw him wearing his priest’s cassock on air. Robinson mixes his strict interpretation of Christian morality with an anti-immigrant and conspiratorial outlook that has become increasingly extreme over time, for example repeatedly calling for an end to non-Christian migration to the UK. 

In 2023, he was sacked by GB News after leaping to the defence of his friend Laurence Fox, following the latter’s abusive on-air tirade against the journalist Ava Santina. He took his show to the Lotus Eaters, where he spoke to the Christian nationalist Joel Webbon — who has called Judaism a “parasitical” faith — to criticise Jews as opponents of Christianity. Robinson has posted on X about how he recognises “Talmudic Judaism as a problem”. 

Robinson was appointed lead spokesman for UKIP in August last year, and left the UK shortly after for Michigan, where he became a priest at an Anglican Catholic church in Grand Rapids. His ministry did not last long. In January 2025, he mimicked Elon Musk’s apparent Nazi salute at an anti-abortion event. Robinson, who defended his actions as a joke, was defrocked. He continues to co-host an occasional podcast with Laurence Fox.
