Epstein and Steve Bannon discuss Tommy Robinson in newly released files

Newly released files reveal messages between Jeffrey Epstein and former Trump strategist Steve Bannon discussing far-right British activist Tommy Robinson. In a 2019 exchange, Bannon referred to Robinson as the "'backbone of England'" after Epstein shared an article about Robinson's contempt of court conviction. Another message from 2018 shows Epstein congratulating Bannon on Robinson's release from prison, to which Bannon replied "Thanks". The context suggests Bannon, a known ally of Robinson, was supportive of the activist, who is known for his anti-Muslim rhetoric and street movement in the UK.
