Stephen Lennon (AKA Tommy Robinson) has surrounded himself with a tight team of friends and political colleagues, who, between them, run most of his business and political operations. Some have been with him since school days, whilst others are far more recent recruits to help him expand his growing media operation.
We have split Team Tommy into three distinct groups: Team Tommy core – his most loyal lieutenants, many of whom have been with him for 10 years or more. Next is the Urban Scoop team – made up of those who help deliver his media operation. Finally, there is the Team Tommy eco-system – individuals and groups that align themselves to Lennon, but are politically active in their own right and are in other organisations.
Team Tommy core:
- Adam Greary: Having been with Lennon since the start, Greary runs the back-end of the political and fundraising operation. Nickmaned “Nem”, Greary directs operations in the background and is largely unknown to the wider Tommy supporter base.
- Andre Samson: An old school friend of Lennon’s, Samson runs a clothing company that Lennon is a silent partner in. While having no public role within Tommy’s political activities, Samson has long been involved in Team Tommy WhatsApp groups.
- Craig Fowler: Better known by the name Jack Dawkins, Fowler runs Lennon’s social media output. Newcastle-based, Fowler has strong racist and antisemitic views and is a big supporter of Russian President Vladimir Putin.
- Richard Ingram: A former soldier, Ingram now organises protests for Lennon and coordinates the research and surveillance. Ingram is a member of the UKIP national executive.
- Liam Gillett (AKA Liam Tuffs): Liam Gillett, who operates under the name Liam Tuffs, is Lennon’s close confident and the first port of call when he falls off the wagon, which he does regularly. Runs “The Dozen” podcast and by day runs Bauer Security company.
- Guramit Singh: Nottingham-based Guramit Singh has been with Lennon since the early EDL days and today co-runs the operation whilst Lennon is in prison. A convicted armed robber, Singh and has recently launched Predator Hunter, which tracks down and exposes child abusers.
- Lisa Reynolds: US-based Lisa Reynolds has been a key part of Team Tommy since the “Free Tommy” demos in 2018, when she helped oversee funding for his demonstrations from the Middle East Forum. Reynolds helped organise the screening of his film Silenced in Florida and personally lobbied Elon Musk to allow Lennon back on X.
- Toni Collins: Toni Collins, better known as Ginger Toni, plays a key admin role behind the scenes at Urban Scoop and acts as chief steward on Lennon’s demonstrations. Along with Lennon’s former PA, Hel Gower, Ginger Toni has aggressively gone after his opponents within the far right.
Urban Scoop:
- Danny Roscoe: Produces podcast and video content for Urban Scoop, and has recently been instrumental in organising much of Urban Scoop’s merchandise. He now runs a podcast with Brother Wendell, called “The Two Coconuts”.
- Vicky Richter: A self-described “distinguished German SpecOps PsyOps Veteran” turned independent journalist, Vicky Richter joined the Urban Scoop team in the summer of 2024 after producing a film about Lennon’s last weeks of freedom. Reporting from the US, Richter interviews leading MAGA Republicans for Urban Scoop.
- Sammy Woodhouse: Despite once being heavily attacked by Lennon supporters for denouncing his exploitation of the grooming issue, former Child Sexual Exploitation survivor Sammy Woodhouse joined the Urban Scoop team in July 2024. However, within six months, and with no explanation, she left and is now reporting for Rebel Media.
- Don Keith: Host of “The Real Beef”, US-based Don Keith recently formally joined Urban Scoop after interviewing Lennon last year for his podcast and spending time together in Spain, shortly before the Lennon’s imprisonment. Recently announced a regular US-based podcast on Urban Scoop.
- Brother Wendell: YouTuber Brother Wendell has been following Lennon’s demonstrations for several years but only recently became part of the Urban Scoop team. In addition to “The Two Coconuts” podcast, produced with Danny Roscoe, Wendell has taken over the filming work for Urban Scoop.
Associates:
- Paul Thorpe: A former luxury watch expert turned Lennon-supporting YouTuber. He is also the founder of UNITE UK, a “patriotic movement that aims to unite ‘everyone’ who shares our love for traditional British values and British culture.” Thorpe has interviewed Lennon and attended and spoken at several of his demonstrations.
- Mahyar Tousi: An Iranian-born YouTuber and founder of Tousi TV. His YouTube channel, which has 767,000 subscribers, posts regular videos on a range of far-right topics. In recent years, he has become a close ally of Lennon, attending and speaking at his demonstrations.
- Rikki Doolan: Formerly a homeless busker, “hooked on a Rock ‘n Roll lifestyle of drugs and alcohol”, Doolan is now a pastor at Spirit Embassy church in London. As well as being UKIP’s Spokesperson for Culture and Art, he has become an ardent supporter of Lennon, performing his brand of Christian rock music as his demonstrations in 2024. In 2023, he was exposed by Al Jazeera for being part of a money laundering scheme involving Zimbabwean gold.
- Gerard Batten: Former leader of UKIP, Batten became notorious after leading his organisation in an explicitly anti-Muslim direction and appointing Lennon to an official position within the party. He has long been a staple at Lennon’s demonstrations.
- Voice of Wales: Voice of Wales (VoW) is a far-right media outlet run by Dan Morgan and Stan Robinson, which creates a range of content including articles, videos, livestreams and social media output.
