This is a statement from Tommy's ex-wife after hearing about @Nigel_Farage's lie on LBC - that Tommy has convictions for 'violence against women':
It has been really upsetting to hear Nigel Farage has accused my ex husband Stephen Lennon of perpetrating violence against women. Having to sit down and talk to my children about these false allegations which are all over social media is not something any mother should have to do.
I have never ever been assaulted or abused by Stephen (Tommy) ever in my life. There has never ever been a call to the police about violence towards me or any other woman for that matter. Stephen (Tommy) has never ever been charged or accused of violence towards me or any other woman. These lies have to stop. Our children don't deserve to have these allegations thrown in their faces by their peers or questioned about it in their friendship groups.
Who the hell does Nigel Farage think he is? What gives him the right to spread lies and misinformation about my ex-husband? What gives him the right to upset my children with his false allegations?
I am so sick of hearing absolute lies spread about Stephen which affects our children.
Stephen isn't a perfect man, hes never claimed to be a perfect man. We have had our challenges as a family because of his activism and his journalism, that goes without saying, but I cannot, and will not have a high profile politician like Farage spread fake news about my children's dad.
The lies have to stop, they have to stop now. Nigel must apologise for what he has said. My children have endured enough lies and misrepresentations about their dad to last them a lifetime.
