Tommy Robinson says ‘Russia is not Britain’s enemy’ after Moscow trip

On Monday, British activist Tommy Robinson met Errol Musk in Moscow, posting a video of the pair at the five-star Hotel Metropol.
Errol Musk has been in Russia since last week attending the Kremlin-backed St Petersburg International Economic Forum. Robinson, real name Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, claimed that Russia is 'not the enemy of Britain.'
In the footage, Robinson joked, 'We are going to go and cause some trouble,' while at the Hotel Metropol. The encounter drew attention due to Robinson's political profile and his ties to Elon Musk.
Labour Party chairwoman Anna Turley criticized online figures for 'playing a role in driving' unrest in the United Kingdom, suggesting X owner Elon Musk is among the 'bad faith actors' inflaming tensions.
The meeting coincides with increased visibility of Western activists in Russia, intensifying debate about such figures' influence on public discourse and engagement with Russian-based forums.
