Overview
- Connolly says she received a probation warning letter after re‑sharing a post that jokingly asked whether President Donald Trump could remove Prime Minister Keir Starmer in a Venezuela‑style operation.
- She says complainants flagged the repost as inciting violence, and she adds that she has also been cautioned over comments about activist Alaa Abd el‑Fattah and a school place for her daughter.
- She served 380 days in custody and was released on licence in August with strict conditions that allow recall for breaches or re‑offending.
- Her bid to challenge the sentence was rejected last year when Lord Justice Holroyde ruled there was no arguable case that it was manifestly excessive.
- Connolly has recently hinted she might run for Parliament and has drawn encouragement from Reform UK figures who frame her as a free‑speech advocate.
