Tommy Robinson has been released from prison four months early after agreeing to "purge" his contempt.

Robinson, 42, was pictured walking free from HMP Woodhill in Milton Keynes earlier this morning.

The ex-English Defence League leader, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, looked unrecognisable with a full beard as he left the clink alongside an entourage of supporters.

When asked how he was feeling, Robinson declared: "Unfortunately the country doesn't believe in free speech."
