He was kicked out of pregnant girlfriend's home by police - then returned to strangle her
A thug strangled his pregnant partner moments after she allowed him back into her home when he cried on her doorstep. A court heard that Wesley Jones had already been removed from the woman's home by police hours before he went on to attack her. The 32-year-old returned to the address that evening, when Jones' partner had his bags ready for him to collect. But after Jones began to cry, she let him inside.

Never miss a story with the MEN's daily Catch Up newsletter - get it in your inbox by signing up here Stoke-on-Trent Crown Court heard that the victim had called the police at 9.30am on June 28, 2023, when Jones had first refused to leave her home. Officers removed him from the property, before he returned at 5.50pm. After being allowed back inside, Jones lashed out. Prosecutor Emma Swindell told the court: "He grabbed her throat with his right hand and strangled her. It restricted her breathing and made her feel dazed. "He went to her bedroom and tipped the wardrobe over and kicked things around her room. Downstairs, he grabbed hold of her and threw her to the floor. "She hit her head. He broke the coffee table worth £67 and threw a television worth £1,000 at the wall and punched it destroying it." The incident was witnessed by the victim's two children. In a victim statement, the woman said the relationship has ended. She was left crying continuously and very upset. Jones, of Longshaw Street, Longport, denied strangulation, assault by beating and criminal damage but was convicted after a trial at North Staffordshire Justice Centre. Robert Holt, mitigating, conceded Jones has a history of violence. He once worked as a chef at Stoke City Football Club. Last December, he fell from a ladder which left him with a spinal injury. He has suffered from mental health issues but has a dog which is helping him get out of the house and meet people. Join our Court and Crime WhatsApp group HERE Mr Holt added: "He does not accept he is guilty of the offences. He denies he committed these offences. But he respects the opinion of the court." Jones was jailed for 26 months and handed a five-year restraining order to stay away from his victim. Mrs Justice Tipples said: "You have a number of previous convictions for violence. The mitigation is your mental health, there has been no recent offending, this relates to 2023."

Tommy Robinson 'in Tenerife' after St Pancras station assault
A British tourist claims he saw Tommy Robinson boarding a flight to Tenerife following an alleged assault at London's St Pancras station. The 42-year-old far-right political activist flew out of the UK as police launched an investigation into an incident in which a man was knocked unconscious on the walkway leading to the station's Thameslink hub. Video footage shared on TikTok on Tuesday by a British tourist appeared to show a man fitting Tommy Robinson's description boarding an airport shuttle. He was wearing a black t-shirt and shorts, a black cap and white trainers, with a visible tattoo on his left leg. The video was captioned: 'Spotted Tommy Robinson getting on my flight this morning.' In another video, the man alleged to be Robinson lifted his cap at the security gates so that a staff member could check his face against his passport photo. Later that day, the British TikToker shared another video tagged with a Tenerife location. Footage shared widely on social media this week, shows an agitated Robinson shouting 'you saw him, he came at me' as a man appears to lay unresponsive and bleeding on the floor. Robinson later claimed in a video he had a fight with a door after showing off a cut on his forehead. But a fellow passenger claimed they saw Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, arguing with an older man before 'punching him so hard it knocked him out'. They said Robinson allegedly shouted at him to "come at me then" before he "punched the man so hard he was knocked out". The witness had been on the way to catch a train when he "heard a loud commotion and arguing" at the top of the Platform B escalator. He said that as he approached the top, he saw the pair "facing off and standing very close to each other". The witness told MailOnline that the alleged assault seemed "very serious" as the individual "wasn't moving afterwards". Robinson could then be seen leaving down a staircase, while another man can be heard saying "quick, can we get someone here" to staff. He then comes back up the stairs and appears to tell the man "he come at me bruv, you saw that". Since the clip emerged, Robinson reposted a post on X, formerly known as Twitter, from a user which read: "If you approach someone with hostility, a man that receives death threats daily, expect to get a clip round the ear hole." In an update, British Transport Police said: "BTP were called to St Pancras station just after 8.40pm yesterday (July 28) following reports of an assault. "Officers attended and a man was taken to hospital with serious injuries, which are not thought to be life threatening. "Overnight the investigation has been ongoing and officers have been making arrest enquiries. "Officers have confirmed that the suspect, a 42-year-old man from Bedfordshire, boarded a flight out of the country in the early hours of this morning. "Detectives are continuing to work closely to progress the investigation and bring him into custody for questioning."

Megyn Kelly Has No Sympathy for Trump on Epstein Mess
MAGA media star Megyn Kelly had some harsh words for President Donald Trump's handling of the Jeffrey Epstein crisis, saying it was 'hard to have a lot of sympathy' for the administration after a series of unforced errors. The issue has dominated the news for weeks after the Department of Justice and the FBI issued a memo earlier this month concluding that the financier, who died in prison in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges, did not have a 'client list' and was not murdered—as many of the MAGA faithful believe—but killed himself. Instead of putting the controversy to rest, the announcement sparked anger and accusations of a cover-up among even some of Trump's most ardent supporters. That response was completely predictable, Kelly said on Monday's episode of Piers Morgan Uncensored, making it 'hard to have a lot of sympathy' for the administration. 'Now the president's very annoyed that it won't go away. It won't go away because of the way he's handled it,' she said. She listed a series of missteps on the part of the administration, including Attorney General Pam Bondi's decision to issue the memo in the middle of a slow news summer without holding a press conference to answer questions about the findings. That decision was particularly misguided considering Trump's picks to lead the FBI—Director Kash Patel and Deputy Director Dan Bongino—had previously 'fanned this flame' and pushed the theory that Epstein was murdered to protect his powerful associates. 'Whoever told the Justice Department that this could somehow be buried and that people would move on and that the Trump administration could get away with that ridiculous two-page summation of 'You're not getting any more information because there's no there there' should be fired,' she said. 'That person is an idiot and didn't understand the Republican base—certainly the core MAGA base.' Instead of getting out ahead of the scandal, the administration has been trying to play catch-up by seeking the grand jury transcripts from Epstein's criminal proceedings—despite knowing the court was not likely to release them—and by speaking to Epstein's accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell. Maxwell, however, is not a reliable source considering she's currently serving a 20-year prison sentence for luring and grooming and Epstein's victims, Kelly said. 'Can we really trust anything this woman says when she it's either this—give something up or someone up—or spend 20 years in jail?' Kelly said. Kelly said she agreed 'completely' with Morgan's assessment of the administration's handling of the scandal, which he described as 'leading everybody up to the water's edge, and then not giving anyone a drink.' 'This is self-inflicted,' she said. Trump and Epstein were friends for years until they had a falling out not over Epstein's sexual impropriety but because he 'stole' Trump's hired help, the president said Monday.
