Lucy Connolly

Lucy Connolly, 42, former Northampton childminder and wife of a Tory councillor, was jailed 31 months in October 2024 for inciting racial hatred via a July 2024 X post calling for mass deportation and burning hotels housing asylum seekers after Southport murders. Released August 2025, she regrets the post, calls herself a political prisoner, and plans free speech advocacy.
