Rebel News is a far-right Canadian outlet best known in the UK for its on-off relationship with anti-Muslim activist Stephen Lennon (AKA Tommy Robinson).

Formerly known as Rebel Media, and having previously employed Lennon, Katie Hopkins and other far-right Brits as hosts, Rebel News re-launched its UK operation in 2022.

The group’s founder Ezra Levant regularly travels to the UK to cover Lennon’s trials, using the visits to raise funds. In June 2024, Lennon travelled to Canada for a speaking tour for Rebel News but was arrested on suspicion of an immigration offence.

Levant has remained loyal to Lennon, despite a clip emerging from Lennon’s time at the organisation in which he used an explicitly antisemitic trope to mock Levant. Last year also saw former Urban Scoop correspondent, Sammy Woodhouse, join the outlet. 

In 2025, Rebel News continued acting as a mouthpiece for Lennon, as Levant flew to the UK to report on his court cases on several occasions. Levant has also been the driving force behind fundraisers for Lennon’s ever-growing court fees. 

The financial exploitation of Lennon’s followers is not contained to legal fees; in the week running up to the Unite the Kingdom rally in September, Rebel News hosted a school-trip style residential stay. 50 of Rebel News’ most “devoted” followers paid up to £4,099 for a week complete with museums, a “tourbus” (coach) and allocated leisure time. This included a double occupancy room from Wednesday evening until Monday morning and dinner with Lennon himself. Even the lowest band, which included the day activities and dinners without accommodation, was an eyewatering £999.
