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 to do a speaking tour for Rebel News, but was arrested on suspicion of an immigration offence. Levant has remained loyal to Lennon, despite a previously unreleased 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 Rebel News to cover stories in the UK and Ireland.
